Every year, the week of June 14 is designated as “National Flag Week.” During National Flag Week, the president usually issues a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week in honor of their patriotic love for the ‘land of the free’ and the ‘home of the brave’. The flag is often displayed on all government buildings, while parades and events in celebration of America’s national flag and everything it represents are held across the country.
Here in the Tri-State area, patriotic citizens and visiting foreigners will flock to Philadelphia, PA for the numerous scenic walking tours documenting such historic and notable locations as the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, Independence Hall, Ben Franklin Monument, Elthred’s Alley, and selected stops along the Underground Railroad looking to capture a look, a feel, even a distant genetic memory of a part of American life long ago.
Less than 10 minutes away from the horse drawn carriages and colonial costume flocked cobblestone streets of Olde City, and right over the Betsy Ross Bridge, J&O Fabrics offers patriotic tourists of a crafty nature an additional treat. Just beyond the walls of our 45 year old family run business lie some of America’s most famous leaders and civilians like George Washington, Martin Luther King, Barack Obama, our soldiers and vets of the U.S. Military, and of course our beloved star spangled banner. Printed on an assortment of 100% cotton and poly fleece materials, these symbols of America are available by the yard for your decorating pleasure on Flag Day, National Flag Week, and all 365 days of the year. From America the Beautiful, 911 Remembered, and I Have a Dream Panel, to Road to Glory, Boys to Men and United We Stand, crafters and quilters alike will delight in their finds and return for more with the same sense of duty and loyalty to their patriotic fabric projects as they do to their country.
So whether it’s June 14th or any day throughout the year, celebrate National Flag Day along with millions of other Americans. After all, she waves for you and me.
