HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG

For more than 200 years, the American flag has been the symbol of our
nations strength and unity. Its been a source of pride and inspiration
for millions of citizens. And the American Flag has been a prominent
icon in our national history. Here are the highlights of its unique past.
On January 1, 1776, the Continental Army was reorganized in accordance
with a Congressional resolution which placed American forces under
George Washingtons control. On that New Years Day the Continental
Army was laying siege to Boston which had been taken over by the
British Army. Washington ordered the Grand Union flag hoisted above
his base at Prospect Hill. It had 13 alternate red and white stripes and
the British Union Jack in the upper left-hand corner (the canton).
In May of 1776, Betsy Ross reported that she sewed the first American
flag.
On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag for the new nation,
the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: Resolved, That the
flag of the United States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing
a new Constellation.
Between 1777 and 1960, Congress passed several acts that changed the
shape, design and arrangement of the flag and allowed for additional
stars and stripes to be added to reflect the admission of each new state.
Act of January 13, 1794 provided for 15 stripes and 15 stars after May
1795.
Act of April 4, 1818 provided for 13 stripes and one star for each state,
to be added to the flag on the 4th of July following the admission of
each new state, signed by President Monroe.
Executive Order of President Taft dated June 24, 1912 established
proportions of the flag and provided for arrangement of the stars in six
horizontal rows of eight each, a single point of each star to be upward.
Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated January 3, 1959
provided for the arrangement of the stars in seven rows of seven stars
each, staggered horizontally and vertically.
Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated August 21, 1959
provided for the arrangement of the stars in nine rows of stars staggered
horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.
Today the flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes, seven red
alternating with 6 white. The stripes represent the original 13 colonies,
the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are
symbolic as well: Red symbolizes Hardiness and Valor, White symbolizes
Purity and Innocence and Blue represents Vigilance, Perseverance and
Justice.

HAVE A SUN-SAFE
SUMMER
Its natural to want to get out in the sun during warm summer days. It should also be
second nature to take steps to protect your skin from the sun when you go outside.
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and other sources like tanning beds are the
#1 cause of skin cancer. Too much exposure can also cause sunburn, eye damage,
and premature wrinkles. But shielding your skin with clothing, broad-spectrum
sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher, and staying in the
shade can help lower your risk.
Take these steps to stay sun-safe:
Cover up: When you are out in the sun, wear clothing and a wide-brimmed hat to
protect as much skin as possible. Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block at
least 99% of UV light.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher: Reapply at least
every 2 hours, as well as after swimming or sweating.
Seek shade: Limit your direct exposure to the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and
4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest.
Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps: Both can cause serious long-term skin damage
and contribute to skin cancer.
Choosing the right sunscreen:
While you should use sunscreen every day of the year, its even more important
during the summer, when the days are longer, the sun is stronger, and its easier
to spend more time outdoors. When choosing sunscreen, read the label before
you buy. US Food and Drug Administration regulations require the labels to follow
certain guidelines:
Choose a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection. Sunscreens with this label
protect against both UVA and UVB rays. All sunscreen products protect against
UVB rays, which are the main cause of sunburn. But UVA rays also contribute to
skin cancer and premature aging. Only products that pass a test can be labeled
broad spectrum. Products that arent broad spectrum must carry a warning that CHECK OUT THE BEAR FOR
they only protect against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging.
Choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. The SPF
number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against UVB rays. Higher
