Happy Tuesday Speakies:
Today is “FLAG DAY”, known as Old Glory, the Stars & Stripes and probably a few more names which I cannot bring to mind. So if you have a flag pole or even one of those hand held flags display it and give Old Glory its due honor today.
Today the U.S. Army was officially created in 1784 by the Congress of the Confederation after the end of the Revolutionary War to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The Army considers itself to be descended from the Continental Army and thus dates its inception from the origins of that force. Let us never forget those who gave their lives for the freedom we have today. Our local Home Depot store donated a Veterans Memorial Display for all those who served in the military from our community. Photos were sent and modified with the dates served and will be placed in slots for display. A very nice gesture from Home Depot and an honor to the veterans living in our community. A special thanks to Roe and Linda for a job well done.
For you food lovers it is “OFFICIAL STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE DAY.” I remember those strawberry shortcakes that were made with those little round cakes with the well in the center, filled in with strawberries and smothered with whip cream. It was a good dessert in a pinch and during the summer months Mom always had tons of strawberries in the house to make them. The only problem was she put too much sugar on them that they tasted like candy. So if you are near a good bakery or diner today have yourself a nice slice of cake.
Here’s a sports view from Joey Z’s “WHO CARES.” I was glad to see the Mavericks win the NBA Championship however I never watched a minute of the games. Pro basketball has a long season; it starts in November and ends in June. One can tune in the last minute to see who wins. There must also be joy in Cleveland today but I say “Who Cares.”

Hi Joe:)
We used to sing "You're a grand old flag" in Franklin School long ago:)
Mack, I can picture you as James Cagney singing that song from the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Have a great day.
