Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
TODAY IS FLAG DAY: SALUTE OUR AMERICAN FLAG IN HONOR OF THIS GREAT SYMBOL
The post office, banks and government offices will be closed – NOT
A large parade in honor of the flag will take place in every city – NOT
Everyone will be flying their flags in honor of this great symbol – NOT
Children will learn all about Flag Day in schools across America – PROBABLY NOT
The President will be wearing his flag pin and having a speech from the Rose Garden on the importance of this holiday – YEAH RIGHT
Okay maybe I’m being too tough. June 14th is a little known American holiday dedicated to honoring our flag and most people do not even know this holiday exists. However, we do know that our government knows about it and educators should as well. They should be making a big deal about it so let’s watch and see what happens. If you find any clippings or videos where 2010 Flag Day is mentioned, please send them to us. We would like to thank those who took time to remember our Flag.
To learn more about Flag Day and find a way to talk about our Flag with your family, go to www.libertycentral.org and read “The Patriot’s Kitchen Table: Our Flag.” It gives you a little history and questions you can use to generate conversation at the kitchen table.
Billy Baker from our local tea party sent in the following video. It’s a message from our Flag to you. Enjoy and salute a flag today if you see one flying in the sky. (Thanks Billy)

You're a grand old flag, you're a high flying flag;
And forever, in peace, may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.
Every heart beats true, for the Red,White, & Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag;
But, should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Billy,
Great job, far too many take this for granted.
How many died to honor this flag.
Today is also my wifes birthday, so I beter not forget it or that it is "Flag Day"
Long may it wave.

I salute our flag regularly at all American Legion Functions and Patriot Guard honors for fallen soldiers.
Moreso I salute the flag for the country she represents and which shall stay proud with Heritage if we have anything to say about it.

This wonderful, thanks Billie and Billy. Our flag is always flying and I will put out lots of smaller ones as well. Always brings tears to my eyes. A true symbol of freedom!

Flag Day! It's a symbol of our national pride! Too bad there are still people out there who tries to envade our freedom of speach and the First Ammendment. I heard that the New Life Church, on Hodges Blvd., is starting a petition to remove Harry Potter books from our Public library shelfs, because some kids killed themselfs over the story. Lets all now pray,(as in church), that they mind there own business! God Bless America!

OUTSTANDING! I've sent the message to everyone on my e-mail lists [over 100]. I'm proud to be a member of Civil Air Patrol where at every meeting, local, state and national, we pledge our allegiance to 'old glory'. Our youth are taught the meaning of the flag and how to salute it properly. We will not let the patriotism die. Thanks for a great website.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
