Here are some highlights:
Flag Day is June 14
The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin, public school District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as “Flag Birthday.” In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as “Flag Birthday” or “Flag Day.”
Flag Day etiquette
On June 14th, you’ll see a great number of American flags displayed on homes throughout the country. It’s especially important now and should always be. The flag is properly displayed with the stars on the top, except when it is hung upside down as a distress signal. The flag should never touch anything beneath it.
Saying the pledge
If you are at an event where the flag is not displayed but the national anthem is played, all present should face toward the music. When the flag is displayed, all present should face the flag and salute, private citizens with their right hand on their hearts and military people with the conventional salute.

Four little words can make your day!
Don’t you just love getting a little off a service? Especially when you weren’t expecting it. It’s fun! Do you know what else is fun? Helping your friends and family, and making them feel happy! Here is how you do both of these “fun” things at the same time…
Everyone loves it when you do this…
When was the last time you told a friend, family member or co-worker about a really great restaurant, book or movie? And, when they took your recommendation and so happy that you pointed them in the right direction…didn’t that feel great?
People love it when you do the “footwork” and find something great for them. You save your friends/family time, money and possible disappointment when you show them the way to a good experience You do this when you recommend good books, movies, doctors, hairstylists, restaurants or…even your carpet cleaner.
It’s not easy to find great companies. And carpet cleaners are no exception. Do you know how many “professional carpet cleaners” don’t have much experience than pushing a vacuum? Do you realize how many carpets are left over-wet or with residue? Or how many “pros” don’t understand how to properly and permanently remove spots? These errors lead to rapid resoiling and perpetuate the myth that carpet cleaning “doesn’t work.”
It’s hard to find a cleaner with thorough knowledge in the chemistry of cleaning, with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee on all their work, five-star service, and someone who handles your home with “kid gloves!” But you managed to find us!
Four little words to remember…
You see where we’re going with this don’t you? Now you have a chance to help your friends and family find a great professional cleaner.
