Betsy Ross Flag Plaque

Sunday June 28, 2009

This year I am indeed fortunate that my son, who is in the military, will be returning to Naval Station Norfolk on July 3rd. We'll be spending the 4th together in DC visiting the monuments and watching the fireworks.

My 4th of July gift to my readers is the instructions to make a flag plaque based upon the flag Betsy Ross made for the Continental Congress in 1776. I crafted and marketed these flag plaques about 20 years ago and still have one in my home.

Wishing everyone a great 4th of July and many thanks to the men and women serving their country in the military
