Flag Day Ceremony with Fire  |
| |
|  June 14th is Flag Day in America. On this special day, we take the time to dispose of old and worn out flags with a ceremony. This is a somber ceremony of honor. We take the time to remember our military who serve our country and reflect upon our nations history. As we watch the flags quickly disappear into the fire, we are reminded that our country and our freedom can be consumed, destroyed and gone just as quickly. We are reminded to cherish what we have, to be proud of it and to protect it.
On June 14th, my Girl Scout troop performed this ceremony. My daughter tried to capture some of the ceremony with her camera. Please give your opinion of her photo. Remember to click on the photo and rate it. Thank you.

| | My grandfather and great-uncle served in World War II. My grandfather was buried with Military Honors. The local VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) perform Military Honors at most of the funerals in our community. My father served in the Korean Conflict and my son is currently in the Service. He is stationed in Iraq and this is his second tour of duty.
When his unit came home from the first tour of duty in Iraq, they came home with "No Loss of Life." Keep your fingers crossed. I hope they come home in November with "No Loss of Life" a second time. These are wonderful words for military moms to hear and we should hear these words more often in our daily news broadcasts.
You are right. We do indeed have a lot to be thankful for. | | | |

| | I love how it's captured the flames, fire's have always been something which captures my eyes/attention.
Was someone poking it with a stick?

| | No one was poking the flag. It was a wood fire. A lot of the wood is what we call "squaw wood". It is completely dead, breaks easily, is easily found on the ground, is light weight and easy to carry. But what we like about this type of wood is it burns very hot. You do not want to get too close to this fire as the heat will singe your eyebrows off. LOL | | | |

| |  I would love to attend one of these. I have not heard of one lately. I will have to check into a local ceremony.
I will be praying for a " no loss of life" as well royal as I am sure everyone does.
And of course her photo is wonderful. She is a very talented girl!

| |  That would be a very touching ceremony to attend. I wish I could have been there. What an honor for your Girl Scout troop to be able to perform this ceremony. And the photo your daughter took is very poignant and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it hon.

| | June 14th is Flag Day in the United States. You might check with your local VFW, Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts to see if they do a ceremony. Our ceremony is always open to the public. | | | |

| | My daughter found it was very difficult to take these photos since the flags disappear into the fire very quickly. She had to be fast. There were a lot of photos that she took that did not capture the flag or the impact of the ceremony. She is very picky about what pictures I am allowed to share on mylot. She will only let me show what she considers to be her very best. | | | |

| | I think that is a very good thing. It shows that she takes real pride in her work. And a great photographer always 'brackets' shots to find the very best. | | | |
