Tomorrow is Flag Day, commemorating the adoption of the use of the United States Flag. So, I thought these photos today from Donna MacIntosh and myself, would be a nice choice since they display our national red, white and blue symbol. This memorial is located on U.S. 41, just north of Baraga, on a little roadside turn-off. It was placed there by the American Legion Foucault-Funke Post 444 from Baraga, to honor Comrades who were lost at sea during their valiant defense of our country. I can't think of a more perfect way to honor the service of these men and women, than to have a spot on the shores of Lake Superior like this, where the sunrise brightens the flags placed there (in Donna's top photo) and the waves splash into shore (in the middle photo).

Happy Flag Day, tomorrow! Don't forget to fly your's proudly.

Greetings from the City of Champions - PITTSBURGH! It was a great day for hockey yesterday as the Penquins won the Stanley Cup!

My father, Robert Bergdahl (lived in Chassell) was a great Penquins fan having lived in Pittsburgh for many years and unfortunately passed away in 1990 - since then they won the cup twice in the 90's and now this one - and he would have loved it!

What a great day in Pittsburgh!

GO PENS!

The PENGUINS have won The Cup! In all the excitement I guess I am having trouble typing!

Beautiful Memorial. Never knew it was there before. One of my hobbies is looking at newspapers on microfilm, and I found this quote about the U.S. Flag: "Our flag today radiates like a beacon of hope and refuge from the last stronghold of liberty and peace in a world gone mad with hatreds and intolerance. Our flag stands for everything that is precious in the life of an American today." Raymond J. Kelly, Flag Day, 1940

Anyways; great choice of photos today Mary, as always.

the RED WINGS have integrity! no other NHL team can say this. each and everyone of their players exemplifies this attribute. they are true gentlemen. that is why the "cream" of hockey players are always so proud to become a member of the Red Wings.


By David J. Whitten (Djwhitten) on Saturday, June 13, 2009 - 07:48 pm:

As a very loyal and proud Red Wings fan, let me congratulate the Penguins and their fans. The Stanley stands alone as the most prestigious award in professional sports.
That being said, Edith you are so right. The professionalism and class of our Wings is unmatched.
