Father of Flag Day” honors have been given to William T. Kerr, who was credited with founding the American Flag Day Association in 1888 while still a schoolboy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It’s our brother’s birthday. Flag Day.
Sending birthday wishes from all of us to you, David. Birthday greetings with lots of love sent across the miles, 2,388 miles to be precise.
Went back to my Okanogan album of 2007 and found this photo of my brother shopping in Hank’s Market in Twisp WA. How about that wildlife?
Happy Flag Day Birthday David.

Happy Birthday David. Thinking of you and hoping you have a wonderful day.

My brother’s birthday is today. Flag Day. A legal holiday in Pennsylvania. There will be garbage pick up. A non-holiday holiday. No special holiday meals. I see flags and red, white and blue bunting around town. Some flags up since Memorial Day.
Here are the flags at PNC Park with the city behind!
I remember walking to the Betsy Ross House when our parents lived in Philadelphia, Mark in a stroller. Philadelphia may be the home to the first Flag Day. When I was a kid there was a piano in the classroom and we sang a lot of flag songs.
