Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, John! :rose:

(For non-U.S. members, Flag Day is June 14.)
 
Have a wonderful birthday John with many more to follow.

As Pablo Picasso said "It takes a long time to become young!"

Best wishes from us both.

Happy birthday jcgriff2 :)

(coincidentally I saw your birthday over in BC instead of here, because I hang around there more than here :D)
 
Happy Birthday John!

Well since it seems that no thread were made for that, I decided to create one, so sorry if I'm stealing it from someone else! :P

Happy Birthday John! :)

I didn't even know that Flag Day was a thing :P

That may be because most other countries don't have the same relationship with their flag, nor does their flag have the same symbolic meanings.

For most countries, their flag is their banner to rally around and represents their country. All good for sure.

But for the US flag, white signifies purity and innocence. Red, hardiness & valor, and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice. And of course the stars represent the states, and the flag as a whole, represents freedom the world around.

Everything about the US flag has significance. There are 13 stripes for the original colonies. Even the 5-pointed stars (chosen by Betsy Ross) represents America's military might.

If you discount changing the number of stars, not many countries have national flags that have gone unchanged for so long.

Sorry, John, for running your birthday wishes thread so off topic. Clearly you should have been born in July! ;)
 
Thank you, everyone!

This is my 4th BD celebrated with all of you here at Sysnative.

That in and of it self makes it very special!

p.s. Thank you, Corrine :rose: for the unique & "catchy" title!
