Craig Paz asked me to pass along to our faithful Readers that the PC's annual Monmouth Park Trip is slated for Saturday the 14th Day of June.....hmmmm? what else occured on this historic Date ?
In the United States, Flag Day (more formally, National Flag Day) is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though on June 14, 1937 Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday.
Title 36 Sec. 110 of the US Code is the official statute on Flag Day, however it is at the President's discretion to proclaim officially the observance.
The largest Flag Day parade is held annually in Troy, New York. [1]
Framingham, Massachusetts also holds a yearly Flag Day parade, as do many other towns and cities, although in recent years a shrinking turnout has prompted the town to consider eliminating the event.
What Else ??
Well in 1994 the New York Rangers Defeated the Canucks of Vancouver in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in the Worlds Most famous Arena......Leetch, Graves and Mess in that order staked the lads to a 3-1 lead , and MR Richter held on to preserve the victory.
Anything Else ???
Funny you should ask, in 1996 , on a balcony of the Molly Pitcher , overlooking the Navesink River, yours truly and Valerie O'Dowd( nee Chamberlain) agreed to become engaged to be wed.
And What Else????
Isn't that enough you ungrateful swine....you try finding a day with that much history wrapped around it.....geeeze.
Anyway , let's race to see who can get polluted first, and to the strongest degree on that day...pass the word....and get on the BUS.
