| Flag Facts: |
|
| It is custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset outside. However, the flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. |
|
| The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. |

| A Nation Is Born |
|
| Once Thomas Jefferson's task of writing a document for the people to be united was completed, congress prepared to act on it right away. |
|
| Congress voted in favor of independence on July 2nd, and on July 4th, 1776 the |
| Declaration of Independence was adopted into this nation. |
|
|
| When Jefferson was finished, he wrote, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." |

| The fighting is still going on, and our troops are still in danger. Don't stop praying for them! |
|
| Please pray God's protection and comfort for John as he is in active duty, and Chris who is on the front lines in combat. |
|
| Pray for the families of the soldiers who died this week. Continue to pray for those who are still missing in action that they are found alive. |
