“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ..... A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” - Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4, 8 (KJV)

     From the Head Flagtwirler of 1965, Janice McCain Rose of VA - 08/12/08 - "Meaning of U.S. flag on coffin":

Carol....I thought this was interesting....thought you would enjoy learning what each fold of our flag means.

Meaning of Flag Draped Coffin

All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation's history. Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.

I hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers.

Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

Have you ever noticed the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!

WATCH FLAG ANIMATION TO SEE HOW TO FOLD A FLAG)

The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, 'Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.'

The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their heart that They pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.

The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.

The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.

The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their nations motto, 'In God We Trust.'

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.

There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you'll see flags folded and now you will know why.

Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of 'Liberty and Freedom.'

ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

   Thanks, Janice!

    From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL - 08/13/08 - "An interesting book.":

Hi, Carol:

From time to time your subscribers share an interesting book for the benefit of the TYPHOON NATION. Please allow me the opportunity to bring such a book to your attention.

 

The Journal of Army History “On Point,” Summer 2008 Vol. 14 No. 1 published by the Army Historical Foundation carried a “Book Review” that brought to mind your Son          Brent (Harty - Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of KY, and others who are subscribers to your Newsletter that are members of the LDS Church.

 

History May Be Searched in Vain: A Military History of the Mormon Battalion, by Sherman L. Fleek, Spokane, WA; Arthur H. Clark Company, 2006. ISBN 0-87062-343-5. Maps, Illustrations, Notes, Bibliography, Index, Pa. 414. $37.50.

 

The book review written by Richard F. Kehrberg of Ames, Iowa closes with the follow paragraph:

 

“Fleek does an admirable job relating the story of the Mormon Battalion and placing it in the context of the larger American war effort. His command of the sources allows him to objectively examine some of the myths that have grown up around the Battalion, and he makes particularly effective use of the recently discovered journal of Dr. George Sanderson, the unit’s non-Mormon surgeon. History May Be Searched in Vain helps restore the Mormon Battalion to its proper place as a military organization and is an important addition to our knowledge of the volunteer soldier in the Mexican War.”

 

Because your late father        (Robert Buckley - John Marshall HS - '25) was one of the Regimental Surgeons in the 29^th Division during the D-Day landing at Normandy it strikes me that Dr. Sanderson’s journal would be most interesting.

 

I hope you can find it at your local library.

 

TYPHOON Regards,

Joe Madagan (’57) of FL

   This does indeed sound like a book I'd enjoy on several levels, Major Madagan! I'll see if I can have someone haul me over to the library. Once again, your consideration for others amazes me, Adonis!

      From Me ('65) of NC - 08/14/08 - "Speaking of          Brent (Harty - Hillsboro HS, IL - '90) of KY.....":

   Should any of y'all wish to communicate with him while he's at boot camp for the next seven weeks, I'm sure he would appreciate it.  It's a well-known (and painful) historical fact that his mother is a complete and total slacker when it comes to writing letters (although I did manage to send a brief note to him on Monday). Don't send food, magazines, electronic equipment, music, cell phone, etc. to him, as he will not be allowed to have these during basic training.  Pictures, however, are welcome.
