The American flag is a proud and dynamic symbol of our country. I remember doing the Pledge of Allegiance before starting our school 
day….every morning. Being the first son of a soldier, I was raised to be proud of our flag and to defend it. Things like “never let it hit the ground” and always be reverent around her was instilled in me at a young age. Every Memorial Day I retire shredded or unserviceable flags as has been the tradition since the end of the Civil War. I do this to to honor our flag and to thank her for her service as a symbol of the greatest country on Earth. I do this for friends and neighbors and those that can’t find a Veterans organization that is doing a ceremony. I also set up outside a Missing Man table in remembrance of those that never came home. Below is a graphic showing how it is done.

The U.S. Flag Code states that an unserviceable American flag should be destroyed in a dignified way—preferably by burning—such as through a respectful flag‑retirement ceremony or by taking it to a disposal box at organizations like the American Legion or VFW.1

Publius says:- If you have an old and unreparable flag, take to the VFW, DAV, American legion or any other Veterans group or find a Vet that does as I do and know that your flag will be handled with reverence and respect. [↩]

With a sad heart and a hole in my soul, I add my heart felt sorrow to the family of Marie (Moya) Brennen. We lost her as she joined a new band in the heavens on Tuesday, April 14 2026. Your music has always filled my heart with joy. May the road always rise to meet you Moya. You will be missed!
Aug 1952 – April 2026. May your music be remembered forever. …Serenity

January 10th 2026 From Giorgio A. Tsoukalos
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce yesterday’s passing of Erich von Däniken on January 10, 2026. Our thoughts are with his family. EvD is also mourned by his friends around the world, the millions of readers of his books, and the many colleagues who have had the privilege of working with him for decades.
His “Archaeology, Astronautics, and SETI Research Association” (A.A.S. R.A.) and all those interested in the Ancient Astronaut Theory and Paleo-SETI research have received this news with dismay and sorrow. What a tremendous loss.
We will keep searching old friend

A Christmas Present Remembered
“For the past few years in this great house, I thought of our first real Christmas as a nation. It was the dark and freezing Christmas of 1776, when General Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware. They and Providence gave our nation its first Christmas gift – a victory that brought us closer to liberty, the condition in which God meant man to flourish.”
President Ronald Reagan
December 1984, Remarks at the National Christmas Tree Lighting.
