Thirteen Stars and Thirteen Stripes. On JUNE 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress selected the FLAG of the United States. Our founders were in the midst of fighting an eight year long war to come out from under the dominion of the most powerful globalist king in world history.
On JUNE 14, 1783, General George Washington sent a "Circular Letter" to the thirteen Governors of the newly independent states. He stated: "I am now preparing to resign ... Before I carry this resolution into effect, I think it a duty ... to make this my last official communication, to congratulate you on the glorious events which Heaven has been pleased to produce in our favor ...

Heaven has crowned all its other blessing, by giving a fairer opportunity for political happiness, than any other nation has ever been favored with ..."
Washington continued, warning: "According to the system of policy the states shall adopt at this moment, they will stand or fall; and by their confirmation or lapse, it is yet to be decided, whether the Revolution must ultimately be considered as a blessing or a curse ... not to the present age alone, for with our fate will the destiny of unborn millions be involved."

It’s also President Trump’s Birthday.
I’m flying my Trump flag today. I just can’t in good conscience fly the American Flag. I don’t want anyone thinking I support the current government and the evil it stands for.
I agree. But we have to keep our spirits up. I, a Tenor, and a Soprano at my church will be singing the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on July 3rd.
Thank God for Geo. Washington.
‘First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countryman.’
I saw a poster— Pro basketball player’s face and statement “I won’t sing the National Anthem” and another posting with a nice looking woman in full combat military gear saying, “That’s okay. It wasn’t written for pussies like you.”
Redmond Oregon, a town of about 32,000, is recognized in the Congressional Record as Flag City. Today I joined about 50 other people to put up 1,700 American flags in the downtown area.
BTTT!
...for which it STOOD.
