Flag of the Month Series Post Guide

Mrs. Smith

Good evening!

Welcome to Project Appleseed's Flag of the Month Series!

If you've been to a Project Appleseed event ANYWHERE, you probably noticed the various Revolutionary War Era flags we proudly fly.  We don't often have time to talk much about them, so we decided on a fun way to remedy that.

Flag of the Month!  Inspired by a New Mexico student (who we're happy to say now wears a hat in our cadre!), we will post a different flag and its story every month in 2021. This post is your guide to those stories.  Thank you for joining us in honoring the memory of our Founding generation and the sacrifices they made for us, their posterity.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Thank you, Tom!

The credit really goes to Mahamotorworks. It was his genius idea!

Sincerest thanks to everyone who commented, supported, suggested, and contributed to this post series.  No man is an island, and this was definitely NOT a solo effort.  My thanks, in particular, to Mahamotorworks, who conceived the notion in the first place, then willingly took over the bulk of the writing a few months in.  You made my job easy, and made me look good in the process. No small accomplishment  ;)

I'm looking forward to the next series of history posts here, and on Facebook, beginning February 1st.

Happy New Year!!! :partytime: :partytime: :partytime: :partytime:
