Flying the US Flag
While many places fly the American
flag, there are eight historic locations
that have official proclamations to
display the Stars and Stripes 24/7.
Celebrate Flag Day on June 14 by
learning about some of these sites:
White House — Photographs show the
flag being flown at the White House
as early as the mid-1800s. During
World War I, it was customary to display flags on the east and west fronts of
the building for 24 hours a day. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon made it
official for one flag to fly above the White House at all times.
Washington Monument — The memorial in Washington, D.C., to America’s
first president has 50 flags, one for each state, encircling the monument. The
proclamation to display them 24/7 was made July 4, 1971.
Lexington Battle Green — The first conflict of the American Revolution took
place in this Massachusetts town, where the 1775 battlefield has been made
into a park. Since 1965, a U.S. flag flies continuously near the site’s famed
Minute Man statue.
U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial — The statue of this memorial in Arlington,
Va., is based on the iconic photograph of six soldiers raising the U.S. flag at
the Battle of Iwo Jima. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed that the
flag atop the 60-foot bronze flagpole be flown 24/7.
High-Flying Feats
With their trademark blue and gold jets, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels are famous for
amazing audiences with spectacular aerial feats and formations. This elite flight
demonstration squadron performs for about 10 million people each year at air shows
and sporting events across the country.
The Blue Angels have been thrilling spectators since 1946, when the chief of U.S.
naval operations, Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, established the team to encourage public
interest in naval aviation, attract recruits to the Navy and boost morale in the branch.
Today, a squad of six expert Navy and Marine Corps aviators, flying modified F/A18 Hornets, demonstrate many of the same exciting maneuvers from the unit’s first
flights. Showcasing skill, precision and teamwork, the pilots execute loops, rolls, tight
turns and high-speed passes of up to 700 mph. In the Blue Angels’ signature diamond
formation, the jets fly as close as 18 inches from each other.
Along with providing entertainment in the sky, the pilots also work on the ground as
goodwill ambassadors, by talking with spectators at shows and practice sessions and
making personal appearances at schools, hospitals and public functions.
The Blue Angels and their support crew of more than 100 personnel are based at
Naval Air Station Pensacola, on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Meaty Treat
June 12 is National Jerky Day,
but you can enjoy this food
all year long. Convenient and
rich in protein, the dried meat
snack has a flavorful history
dating back hundreds of years.
Jerky most likely originated
in the 1500s with indigenous
tribes in North and South
America, where meat from
buffalo, deer, turkey, alpaca
and llamas was cut and
pounded into thin strips,
rubbed with salt, then dried in
the sun or smoked over a fire.
The result was a lightweight
protein source that was easy
to transport and wouldn’t spoil.
The Quechua people of South
America called the food ch’arki,
meaning “dried meat,” which
evolved into the word jerky.
As with native populations,
jerky became a staple food
for Europeans exploring the
New World and pioneers
settling the American West.
Through the years, people
experimented with various
meats and spices, creating
many types and flavors of jerky.
Today, ready-made jerky is a
popular snack worldwide. It’s
naturally low in carbohydrates
and contains key nutrients
like iron, zinc and vitamin
B-12. Varieties that are low
in fat, calories, sodium
and preservatives are
also available.

Going for Gold at
the Senior Games
Much like the Olympic Games, the National Senior
Games is an impressive and inspiring display
of hard work, dedication and athleticism. The
competition is the largest multisport event in the
world for seniors and takes place every two years
in a different U.S. city.
The first Senior Games were held in 1987 in St.
Louis and featured 2,500 participants in 15 sports.
In recent years, the games have attracted more
than 10,000 athletes, all over the age of 50,
including some centenarians.
After competing at the state level, qualifying
athletes attend the national games for a chance
to win a gold, silver or bronze medal in their
events. Currently, 19 sports are offered, including
basketball, tennis, swimming, volleyball, golf,
bowling, horseshoes and shuffleboard.
This year’s competition is June 2-15 in
Birmingham, Ala.

Pickin’ and
Grinnin’
For more than two
decades, star-studded
country music and
cornball comedy
combined to produce
one of the most
successful shows in
television history. Just
ask the fans of “Hee
Haw,” which premiered
June 15, 1969.
The variety show’s creators were inspired by the popularity of
“Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” and wanted to make a country
version. Roy Clark and Buck Owens co-hosted the series, which
took place in fictional Kornfield Kounty. Along with music, the
show featured old-fashioned rural comedy in recurring segments
like “Pickin’ and Grinnin’,” “What’s for Supper?” and “Lulu’s
Truck Stop.”
Along with famous cast members such as Roy Acuff and Minnie
Pearl, “Hee Haw” showcased a long list of high-profile guest
performers, from country legends to artists in a variety of genres.
Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Jerry
Lee Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. are just a few of the singers
who made appearances. Dozens of TV, film and sports stars —
including Ed McMahon, Ethel Merman, Big Bird from “Sesame
Street” and Mickey Mantle — also paid visits to Kornfield Kounty.
Audiences made “Hee Haw” a top-rated show, but it was
canceled after two seasons. However, it was quickly picked up for
syndication, and new episodes aired until 1992.

Sipping a refreshing
glass of pink lemonade is
the perfect way to cool
off when the temperature
climbs. But have you ever
wondered who invented
the drink, and why it’s
tinted pink?
Most historians have traced pink lemonade to 19th-century
traveling circuses, where traditional lemonade was already a
popular refreshment. Two stories of the origin of the pink version
stand out. In one, Henry Allott, a teenager working at a circus
concession stand, accidentally dropped red cinnamon-flavored
candies into a batch of lemonade. He served the rosy-hued drink
to his waiting customers, and it was a hit.
A second story claims circus worker Pete Conklin ran out of
water while making lemonade. He grabbed a nearby tub of
water that a performer had used to wash her pink tights, added
it to his mixture, and sold it as “strawberry lemonade.”
However the beverage came to be, it continues to be a popular
thirst quencher. The pink lemonade sold today is usually tinted
with fruit juices and extracts or red food dye.
