The July 1 issue (our fifth) ushers in some new software. Use the up,
down, left, and right keys to move around a page. Bumping the top of
the window with a mouse will bring up a menu for turning pages,
searching the content of the issue, etc. Bumping the bottom of the
window will allow a reader to adjust the zoom.
And hey, everybody, have a happy and safe Independence Day. Fly that
flag proudly- that variety of shapes and colors unites in a way that
is far more meaningful than if there were only one shape, one color,
or one symbol on the flag. We're a nation of different ideals and
opinions, but like the flag we are stitched together to form a whole
more perfect than the sum of its parts. :-)
Trivia for you:
Can any flag or pennant be flown, properly, higher than the US Flag?
Simply, No.
Unless you believe in a state religion and then what "church flag" do
you choose and which chaplain of what religion? It must be a "higher
ranking" flag, so which religions rank higher?
A bit more nautical trivia to support my position:

Article XI, Voted unanimously by the Senate(Nov., 1796) and signed by
the President.
Again, no.

There are exceptions to every rule of course. One of these occurs
when boating in a foreign country. It is customary to fly a small
version of the foreign country's ensign as a courtesy flag after you
have cleared customs. The proper location of the courtesy flag is
below the starboard spreader on a sailboat or high up on a starboard
verticle structure like a radio antenna for mastless powerboats.

We needed 14 different flags for our Caribbean cruise 2 years ago, one
of those hidden expenses until you are almost ready to go. and start
thinking about last minute details.
