Actually, “Flag Day” was easier to print on calendars, rather than “The United States Saved the Belgian and Denmark peoples bellybutton in WWII.”

ROFL Funked, saw it before you deleted it !
Creamo WHY are you STILL reading my posts ???
Seriously what is "FLAG DAY" ???
-
"Seriously what is "FLAG DAY" ???"
From the United States Code:
§ 157. Flag Day; designation; proclamation; observance
The 14th day of June of each year is hereby designated as "Flag Day", and the President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue annually a proclamation calling upon officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on such day, and urging the people to observe the day as the anniversary of the adoption on June 14, 1777, by the Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States of America.
§ 157a. National Flag Week
The President is authorized and requested to issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week, and calling upon all citizens to display the flag of the United States on those days.
§ 157b. Honor America Days
Congress declares the twenty-one days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America, and further declares that there be public gatherings and activities at which the people of the United States can celebrate and honor their country in an appropriate manner.
Basically you display your flag for a week to kick off the Independence Day festivities.

Creamno...your sense of humour simply sucks.

Creamo...sense...of...WHAT ?

It might be flag day, but doesn't it's a holiday you get off. Europe and Asia get more days off than we do. And 2 week vacation is still the norm over to.

Are "flag day" and "studmuffin day" somewhat related?

Creamo, you fail to forget the part of history where the U.S. had an isolationist attitude about the 'war' in Europe.
If Pearl harbor and a few other events hadn't happened, the scenario might have been Germany getting the A-bomb first, then Creamo would be speaking German, and using a funny 'Heil Hitler' salute!
And, you definately would not be posting here, and enjoying flight sims! The predecessing leader after Hitler would NOT allow freedom of speech!

SAW, Actually I believe USA has the least holidays (observed by businesses)of all the Industrialized free world.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't England get like 3-4 weeks off a year and Italy is much more like 4-6 weeks off a year?
A friend of mine that was educated in the states with the last name of Cabrolotto (yes that's Lotto Sports) and he would have a difficult time flying home because even the cabs, buses, airports closed a certain time of the year. I believe he lived in the wine country in a fairly small city (the name escapes me currently), so I'm not sure of how the holiday's are in the larger towns in Italy. He's the son of the creator of Lotto Sportswear, so as you can imagine he's really hurting for cash, hahaha.

Er... off the top of my head England gets 8 days off a year in Bank Holidays. I may have forgot one but even so that only makes nine which I think is the lowest in the UK.

BTW this is also the 225th anniversary of the US Army. God bless.

Humble, when I finally ascend to power after a bloody coup d'etat, all CCR Nazis will be lined up and shot.

I'm the first to thank those who helped liberate Denmark, don't get me wrong (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
That quote, however, is a quote of an American. I just find it very suiting (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
Of course, we all know and love True American Patriots. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
