waving flag

Previous to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U. S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance.

I used this site for a reference:

Opinion on why the Flag Code was put in:

I personally think that the flag code was put in because I believe they wanted to protect the flag from any disrespect. For example – They wanted to keep the flag protected from what is going on now. I don’t blame the people for doing this. I blame President Donald J. Trump for starting this uprise in disrespect because he insulted the NFL which is why the flag code is being broken. Therefore, I will do #TakingAKnee.

(Plz don’t hate for that)

My Easter

Hello People!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been awhile! Sorry about that. I was very busy over Easter Break. I had a lot of fun tho! I got a YORK bunny! I love that candy. It is my favorite type of candy! BTW, William is doing his usual story and is posting at 12:10. It will be a good one I believe.

Yesterday, on my way home, it started to rain like there was no tomorrow! It was really heavy. There is a park down the road and the tunnel down to the beach by Micky Rats, it was flooded!!! My mom just showed me the picture. It looked awesome. I wanted to go down there and swim across to the beach!

On Tuesday, I went to the orthodontist, and they took off some brackets and then put them back on! It hurt a lot and it still hurts! Usually, it doesn't hurt at this point, but it still does!!!!!!! I really want them to just take them off and I can just be over with the pain! William started his braces in 5th grade and got them off by the end of the year! I've had mine since 2nd grade! That's 4 years!!! I hate them.

GUESS WHAT? CONNER'S IS OPENING TODAY!!!!! I am so happy! They would already be open but they started doing work on the place and because of the weather, they had to postpone the opening so they can finish.

That's all I have to say for today. Thanks for reading!!!

Tifft Experience

Nature is Calling!

Today William and I went to Tifft. We saw tons of deer and we got to feed the birds! If you want to watch the birds I will link video down below. It was awesome! They landed on my hands and ate from it!!!!! It was awesome.

I almost got to touch a deer! I got so close! Did you know that Tifft was a land fill? They use to dump trash (maybe it was your great grandparents trash???)
But then a man named Tifft saved the land and made it into a nature preserve! 








Here is the video...
