(Cut and Paste answer)\n\nFlag Day was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson on May 30th, 1916. \n\nWhile Flag Day was celebrated in various communities for years after Wilson's proclamation, it was not until August 3rd, 1949, that President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14th of each year as National Flag Day.

For 140 years (1819-1959), the Union Jack flew over Singapore. Then, on 3 December 1959, the National Flag, an important symbol of independence, was unveiled at the installation of the new Head of State, the Yang di-Pertuan Negara. Also unveiled that day were the State Crest and the National Anthem. The flag was conceived and created by a committee headed by the then Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Toh Chin Chye.\n\nThe Flag consists of two horizontal halves, red above white. Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of men; white, purity and virtue. In the upper left corner, a white crescent moon and five white stars form a circle. The crescent moon represents a young nation on the rise. The five stars stand for Singapore's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

When my wife, son (he’s an adult) and I left the theater we all noticed the same thing; everyone stayed for the credits so that they could regain their composure. There were not many dry eyes when the movie ended. A great story of one of the most fierce battles to take place in American history.\n\nIt’s the story of the six marines that raised the flag on Mount Suribachi, February 23, 1945 on the island of Iwo Jima in the most famous photograph of WWII. The story is told with frank honesty with characters that seemed so real you would think they could have been your brother or son. An outstanding movie with lots of action and a great story line.\n\nNot recommended for children or younger teenagers…

Pearl Harbor was not a state in 1941.  In 1814 Fort McHenry (in Baltimore) was bombed by the British during the War of 1812.  It was during this battle that Francis Scott Key wrote his famous poem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

It is Okinawa.  My Uncle James has been stationed in Okinawa for two years now.  His whole family is waiting for him here in America, and honestly I don't quite understand why he's still there!

I don't know which flag you are asking about, but if any flag has to fly, that should be a USA flag. It was in USA when, 2 centuries ago, workers went on national strike because they were made to work over 12 hours a day. They demanded to work at least 8 hours a day. Many people had to die during that strike, fired at by policemen, before their demand was granted. So, that strike was supported by many people from all over the world, which is the reason why today May 01 is Workers Holiday all over the world.

It is thought that the first ascent was in 663 by an anonymous monk. A sacred mountain since ancient times, Mt. Fuji's summit was forbidden to women until the Meiji Era. Today, it is a popular tourist destination and common destination for mountain-climbing (see below).\n\nMt. Fuji is an attractive volcanic cone and a frequent subject of Japanese art. The most renowned work is Ukiyo-e painter Hokusai's masterpiece 36 views of Mt. Fuji. It is also mentioned in Japanese literature throughout the ages and the subject of many poems.\n\nMt. Fuji also houses a warrior tradition: ancient samurai used the base of the mountain as a remote training area, near the present day town of Gotemba. As of 2005, the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the United States Marine Corps operate military bases near Mount Fuji.

To be honest with you the very first code break for the USA was the attack on Midway Island. We just got done with the battle of the Leyte gulf and got our carriers to do battle with the Japs. The US sent a fake siginal that the water distillation unit on Midway Island did not work.They intercepted a code that was headed for the mainland of Japan stating this. The Japanese lost 4 carriers in the battle and was a huge turning point in the war. June 5,1942
