US: FLAG DAY. 1893 -- Flag Day first observed in US. Sorry, don't know date of first Flag Burning. 1945 -- U.S. Supreme Court rules compulsory flag saluting by school children illegal. (or 1943?) 1954 -- Indefensible?: Beloved & Respected Comrade Leader President Eisenhower signs order adding words "under God" to the Pledge. (See Witch Hunt Joe entry above). Sticks it between "one nation" & "indivisible." 1968 -- Diaper Rash?: Child-care expert Dr. Benjamin Spock & three others convicted of conspiring to counsel draft evasion... "No 'healing', no apologies, no memorials, nothing can possibly compensate for the damage done & the pain inflicted....The only thing we can possibly do, twenty years too late, is to try & tell the truth." ---Eric Bergerud, Historian The Daily Bleed, in full, http://www.recollectionbooks.com/bleed/today.htm
