A Real Lee Brother!

I can’t believe that I didn’t think of this!  Family Foundation’s blog  just posted a great clip of the musical “1776″.   Here is what they said:

One of the great movies of all time is the musical 1776. Fictional as some elements are (what true story does not get Hollywoodized?) it is still a lot of fun. Here is its terrific portrayal of Richard Henry Lee accepting the challenge to get Virginia’s General Assembly to agree to sponsor a resolution for Independence.

A Real Lee Brother!  A real Virginia Citizen and American Patriot!

Question:  Would you have standed for Independence in 1776?  Are you sure?

  1. The Richmond Times Dispatch displayed the flag on their front page exactly right:

    http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html

    “8. When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the flag.”

  2. Please read the instructions again… Pay close attention to how the flag should be displayed, and you will see, The Richmond Times Dispatch was WRONG…
