Flag Day....June 14, 2024....Jack and Bob Hansen Parade the Red White and Blue


   Jack and Robley (Bob) Hansen 
Photograph from Vere Hansen's Album
Taken around the summer of 1910 in Grass Valley, California. 


    It is Flag Day today!  On this day 246 years ago Congress created our national flag by commemorating Betsy Ross' creation of the Star Spangled Banner.  It is just too windy at my house to fly my Stars and Stripes this afternoon so I will instead share this little photograph from a page in my great grandmother's photo album.  My great uncles Jack and Bob were out in the yard that day proudly parading the Red White and Blue when either John or Vere Hansen took their pictures. It may have been taken on July 4th.  I can imagine Vere lovingly gluing the picture in with the others as she created this page in her album.  



 Jack and Bob at various ages.  Uncle Bob's baby pictures are in the middle.  There is an unknown little friend or cousin with Uncle Jack in the pictures on the top and bottom right hand of the page.  



     How do you celebrate Flag Day?
