URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

Happy Independence Day!
This ensign flew above the destroyer on which I served, and above all U.S. Navy warships.
There's a reason for that, and I never see it without getting a little choked up. We forget its significance only at our very great peril.
I was telling one of my much younger coworkers that when I was born the flag didn't have 50 stars. Without an instants hesitation he looked at me and said, "Did it have thirteen?" Good one.
“I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.” ― John F. Kennedy

Yep, I have one here that flew on my last submarine.
I've got one that was flown on the Iowa.

God bless you all.
Happy Independence Day Reverend.
