In the June 9–15 edition of The Epoch Times, Jeff Minick wrote an article about Flag Day [“Break Out the Red, White, and Blue: June 14th Is Right Around the Corner”], but I believe that he did not tell the whole story. Like my mentor, Paul Harvey used to say, “This is the rest of the story.”
Yes, June 14th was officially declared by President Woodrow Wilson as Flag Day. This was after a grassroots movement was started by a teacher by the name of Bernard Cigrand, a teacher in the hamlet of Waubeka, Wisconsin. He taught in a one-room school called Stony Hill School, which is preserved in its original condition by the Ozaukee County Historical Society.
