People across the United States celebrate Flag Day on June 14 each year to honor the United States flag and to commemorate the flag’s adoption. On the same day, the United States Army celebrates its birthday.
The flags would be in this bag or locker, under a canvas cover for protection from the elements.
Aboard the Battleship North Carolina, at Battleship Park, near Wilmington, North Carolina. I visited here the USS North Carolina (BB 55), a North Carolina-class battleship, now a museum ship. This battleship was launched in 1940, commissioned in 1941 and served in World War II in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She has been at this location as a museum ship since 1962. I visited this place on April 13, 2018.

In front of a packing and shipping store, these flags are supposed to tell us that you can ship anywhere in the world from here. But with the packing crate below with its 'fragile' marking, a new meaning comes out.
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
To celebrate Flag Day, the U.S. Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section brought nearly 300 high school students to the Ambassador’s residence to exhibit the displays they created to illustrate various representative elements for a particular U.S. state – and the District of Columbia. Although the high schools participating this year were at their first experience, the tradition of elaborate projects was very well kept.
At this 7th edition on June 14 (the actual Flag Day celebration!), Embassy judges awarded prizes in the following categories: Best Overall – Rhode Island (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Runner Up Best Overall – Ohio (Liceul “George Calinescu”); Most Creative/Original – Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Represents the State Best – Florida (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Informative/Educational – Virginia (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”); Most Fun – West Virginia (Colegiul German Goethe); Most Detailed – Iowa (Scoala Superioara Comerciala “N. Kretzulescu”); Best Presentation – Kansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”); Most Attractive – Arkansas (Colegiul National de Informatica “Tudor Vianu”) and People’s Choice, in which the participants voted Maine (Grup Scolar Constructii Montaj “Elie Radu”) as their favorite.
The winners received American books, music and movies. All students then enjoyed pizza and sodas on the residence lawn.

Steam Calliope on the Steamboat Natchez, New Orleans, LA. That lady playing had better be wearing earplugs because the calliope is extremely LOUD.

Unofficial Sámi flag
"The flag described by Andersson [Andersson 92] [Andersson 94] is green and white, with proportions 10 : 16 (4-2-4 : 5-2-9). The colours are for the snow and ice dominating the landscape for a long time of the year, and for the vegetation of summer. I am uncertain whether this is a flag used by anybody at all, especially since the Nordic Sami Council adopted a flag that looks quite different in 1986.

I said yesterday that today I'd be posting pictures I took in the NASCAR campground after the race of all the flags people fly. I actually took this picture before the race, but it illustrates the thing I want to show a little better than any of the pictures I took afterward, so here it is.
People who camp in NASCAR campgrounds really like flags, and they love flying large numbers of flags from giant poles they set up themselves. They're so haphazard with it that some tracks have to publish flag rules to keep people from raising flagpoles into the electric lines and frying themselves. These flags are for all sorts of things. There are flags for different drivers and different driver teams, flags for different tracks, flags for different car sponsors. There are historic flags for dead drivers or retired drivers. There are flags for different college sports teams or different professional sports teams. Some people put up state flags from their homelands. If there are Canadians at a race, you'll see maple leaf flags. And, of course, there are a million million American flags. And interspersed with these are flags announcing loyalty to the Trump cult and flags like the one you see here announcing loyalty to the traitorous Lost Cause. Which these days are just flags for racism, whether America's white folks want to admit that or not.
This also brings up a point that always preys on my mind for at least a little while when I go to a NASCAR race. NASCAR was a sport invented by hillbillies for hillbillies. They've spent the last 20 years or so trying to pretend otherwise (that's where I think all the dumb rules come in; real sports with non-hillbilly fans have rules), but the reality of the thing's still there. You can see it in all the flags. My voting bloc is a significant voting minority among the people at this campground, and a lot of those people have views about race (and women's issues, and LGBTQ issues, and immigration issues, and on and on ... ) that a sane nation would have made extinct a century ago.
"Say, Clint," some of these people might say if I talked about any of this while walking through a NASCAR campground. "Why does everything always have to be about race?"
My answer to that (other than to say that it's in the name of the event) is simple: Because whether NASCAR campers and all others who think this way are self-aware enough to see it or not, white people in North America have devoted pretty much the entirety of the last 500 years to making everything about race. So, yeah. There are consequences for that, and one of those consequences is that every once in a while, a half-millennium of institutional racism is going to come up in conversation. Suck it up and face it.
"Say, Clint," somebody else might ask when they look at all these hillbilly flags. "Why are you even a NASCAR fan if you feel that way? Why do you even go to these races?"
My answer to that is that like it or not, these are the people among whom I was raised. I don't consider myself a redneck, mostly, because I use the word "whom," but I think I do have strong redneck tendencies. I am a pretty decent duct tape mechanic, for instance, and I like to blow things up in a backyard whenever I have an opportunity. That's a thing I can't help, because you can't choose where you start your life out. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to escape a lot of the dark side of redneck culture, and I get very sad when I think about the people who didn't and all the horrible things they're willing to do. But I'm not going to cut off my past because of it. I grew up watching NASCAR. My grandfather was a huge NASCAR fan, and in his youth he even hung around the dirt tracks with Owensboro people with names like Waltrip. In later years, whenever I'd visit I'd always wind up talking with him about the races, and it's one of the few ways anybody was ever able to connect with him. When I was little, the races were always on the TV on Sunday afternoons, and the sound of those engines running in circles was the background noise for so many of my more pleasant childhood memories.
So I still watch the races, and I go to one every now and then. I'm sorry all these flags are here and wish they'd go away. But turning my back on these people won't make that happen.

Rund 300 Menschen, hauptsächlich Kurden, sowie Angehöriger linker Gruppen, versammeln sich in Berlin am Brandenburger Tor, um mit einer Demonstration durch Berlins Mitte zu ziehen. Anlass ist der Einmarsch der Türkei in Afrin (Efrin) im Norden Syriens. Die kurdischen Selbstverteidigungseinheiten YPG und YPJ verteidigen sich gegen die türkischen Truppen.
Die Teilnehmer fordern ein Ende der Waffenlieferungen durch Deutschland an die Türkei und ein Eingreifen der Bundesregierung.
