Old Glory Revival

Old Glory Revival 900 "Americans" hold $6.66 trillion. Housing all 50,000 homeless U.S. vets would cost $10 billion—just 0.15%. They won't spare it. We will.

Every flag raised funds shelter, dignity, and justice. Because $6.65T is still filthy rich—and excuses are treason.

🎒 WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Portable telescopic flagpoles with stable bases.
• Assorted flags, including:
• Official U.S. flags in various sizes.
• Wisconsin state flags featuring the full state coat of arms, including the miner and sailor supporters; a shield displaying a plow, pick, anchor, and arm-and-hammer; the cornucopia and lead ingots; the state motto “Forward”; and the United States shield with the motto “E pluribus unum” at the center, symbolizing Wisconsin’s unity with the nation.

• Specialty flags: POW/MIA, other state flags, military branches, international flags, holiday flags, etc.
• Colorful bean bags for judging (green = correct, red = incorrect).
• Optional extras: telescopic poles with hoops surrounding pole bases for extra throwing fun.

---

🏗️ SETUP

1. Arrange flagpoles in a straight line, spaced 10-15 feet apart, about 20-40 feet from the patio or seating area.
2. Distribute assorted flags to players or teams.

---

🎮 HOW TO PLAY

Players (individually or in teams) race to mount flags correctly according to the U.S. Flag Code, originally adopted in 1923 and later amended by Public Law 94‑344 in 1976. These rules treat the flag as a living symbol of the nation, deserving of respect and proper placement.

---

🇺🇸 EXAMPLE FLAG ETIQUETTE RULES

1. The U.S. flag (or true national flag) must fly highest on its pole - no other flag above it.

Official guidance: On a single staff, the U.S. flag must always be at the top.

Why this matters: This placement symbolizes the supremacy of national unity over all other smaller affiliations. Across hundreds of years… from the Revolutionary War to current global conflicts… the American flag has stood as the ultimate emblem of one indivisible nation, forged from diverse states and peoples. Elevating it highest psychologically reinforces collective identity, reminding everyone that loyalty to the country transcends local, state, career, or personal ties, fostering a profound sense of shared purpose and as a result: strength in unity. 🇺🇸

---

2. On the same pole, subordinate flags (state, POW/MIA, private organizations) go below the U.S. flag.

Official guidance: When flags of states, cities, or organizations are flown on the same staff, the U.S. flag must be at the top.

Why this matters: This hierarchy reflects the flag’s role as the supreme symbol of the entire nation, while still honoring state pride or specific causes. It underscores that America’s strength lies in “one nation under God, indivisible”. A principle that has bound the country together through both hardships and triumph. Placing the national flag above others cultivates respect for the greater whole, psychologically encouraging patriotism that unites rather than divides, and honors the sacrifices made for national freedom over regional distinctions, career choices, and other personal sentiments. 🇺🇸

---

3. On separate poles, the U.S. flag takes the position of honor.

Official guidance: In a group of flags displayed from staffs, the U.S. flag should be in the position of prominence, on the far left when viewing from the street or public entrance. When poles differ in height, the U.S. flag must occupy the tallest pole.

Why this matters: The flag embodies the highest ideals of innocence and purity, unity, and valor… values that have inspired generations since the nation’s founding in 1776 and the adoption of the first official flag in 1777. Positioning it prominently serves as a visual anchor for national identity, psychologically evoking pride, vigilance, and perseverance. This precedence has historical gravity: it signals that the nation stands as one, even amid diversity, helping to build emotional bonds of loyalty and mutual respect that have sustained the republic for over two centuries. 🇺🇸

---

4. Proper size hierarchy: The U.S. flag should not be smaller than other flags displayed with it.

Official guidance: Other flags must not be larger than the U.S. flag.

Why this matters: Greater size and visibility amplify the flag’s symbolic power as the emblem of the people’s sovereignty. It prevents other symbols from overshadowing the national one, reinforcing the psychological truth that America’s enduring strength comes from our collective unity under shared principles. This tradition, rooted in centuries of patriotic custom, instills deep reverence for the flag as a living reminder of sacrifice, bravery, and the promise of freedom. 🇺🇸

---

5. Flags should be flown respectfully (no touching the ground, secure mounting).

Official guidance: The flag should not touch anything beneath it and should be treated with dignity.

Why this matters: The flag represents those who have fought and died for the nation. Its treatment mirrors the grave importance of their legacy. Avoiding disrespect preserves its sanctity, psychologically strengthening communal and emotional bonds of gratitude and honor across generations. 🇺🇸

---

6. Thin blue line flag clarification: It is a variation, not the official U.S. flag. The Thin Blue Line itself as a symbol of respect for fallen officers is a separate symbol entirely.

Game rule: This flag does not qualify to fly in the top or position‑of‑honor spot.

Why this matters: The game uses it to deepen understanding of true flag hierarchy, ensuring children learn that modifications or variants do not supplant the official symbol of national unity. 🇺🇸

🏅 EXAMPLE CORRECT SETUPS

• ✅ Pole 1: Full‑size U.S. flag on top, smaller Wisconsin flag below.
• ❌ Pole 2: Thin blue line flag on top = incorrect; correct version uses the official U.S. flag on top.
• ❌ Pole 3: U.S. flag on top, larger Wisconsin flag below (tests size hierarchy).

---

🎯 BEAN BAG GRADING

1. Players step back when finished.
2. Parents/judges remain seated on the patio, deck, or lawn chairs - drink or doobie in one hand, bean bag in the other.
3. Judges toss bean bags toward each pole’s target:
• Green bean bag → Correct.
• Red bean bag → Incorrect (order, size, or protocol issue).
4. Multiple tosses allowed per flag raised for guidance or fun debates.
5. Style points for impressive tosses while holding your beverage.

---

🧮 SCORING & WINNING

• 1-3 points per pole based on accuracy.
• Perfect round: Earn the title Patriotic Expert and a small prize (candy, glow sticks, extra grill time).
• Variations:
• Timed rounds
• Relay races
• “Fix the mistakes” challenge

---

⭐ WHY IT’S A WINNER

• Educational: Kids learn real flag etiquette and the deeper meaning behind it.
• Inclusive: Works for all ages and group sizes.
• Low‑stress for adults: You never have to stand up or put down your drink/doobie.
• Festive & flexible: Turns patriotic décor into a memorable backyard tradition.

Set up the poles, hand out the flags, and let the kids fly ’em right - while you stay planted like a backyard legend, tossing bean bag verdicts with casual authority.

Play on, Wisconsin. 🇺🇸🍻🍃

We Can Do It.

The American Revolution did not begin as a response to an invading army enforcing domination through violence. It arose from inhumane legislation, from an ethical and societal decay within institutions the colonists were meant to participate in, not merely obey. These institutions were expected to operate on mutual legitimacy and shared moral ground, not coercion disguised as law.

The Revolution emerged from immoral and unreasonable legal processes, what was in essence, legalized theft. The legality of these actions was never the determining factor in judging them; legality alone does not confer justice.

Notably, the Revolution was not led by the impoverished, but by the wealthy. Those with education, influence, and material security whose moral compasses could not reconcile participation in a system that had become fundamentally unjust. Their opposition was not born of desperation, but of principle.

They recognized theft as theft, regardless of the statutes used to justify it.

And then they rewrote it all, because of it.

🇺🇸 FLAG DAY COMMUNITY FAIR — LOOKING FOR INTEREST & HELP ORGANIZING! 🇺🇸
We’re exploring the idea of creating a Flag Day community fair unlike anything our town has seen — a fun, welcoming event built around service, teamwork, and our shared American spirit. Nothing is official yet, but we’d love to know who might want to help shape it.

🎪 THE VISION:
Imagine a fair‑like atmosphere — food, music, families, laughter — but at the heart of it all, a massive, hands‑on effort to wash and repair American flags. Not a passive celebration, but a day where everyone rolls up their sleeves for a little while and contributes.

🧵 HOW IT WOULD WORK:

• Multiple comfortable work stations, each focused on a different part of the flag‑care process
• A smooth, friendly assembly‑line flow, so people can move from one station to another
• Most attendees would help for 20–30 minutes, but anyone who wants to stay longer is welcome
• Volunteers would keep everything running smoothly and teach newcomers what to do
• A few outgoing, energetic folks would help direct the flow — calling out cheerfully when a station needs more hands
• Mini‑lessons on Flag Code, American history, and the meaning behind the traditions
• A warm, grounded sense of American pride — not extreme, not old‑fashioned, just community‑minded and purposeful

💵 Flag Restoration Costs:
Each flag would cost $25–$125 to wash/repair depending on size and materials.
All proceeds would go toward helping end the homeless veteran crisis, turning a day of service into real impact.

🔥 OPTIONAL AT‑HOME VERSION:
Families could host a Flag Day BBQ and spend an hour or two washing or repairing flags together. Organizers could drop off flags the day before and pick them up afterward.

🤝 WHAT WE NEED NOW:
People who might want to:

• Help plan or coordinate
• Volunteer at stations
• Teach Flag Code or history
• Assist with logistics, food, or setup
• Be one of the “station callers” who keeps the energy flowing
• Or simply attend and take part

🇺🇸 If this sounds like something you’d love to help bring to life, let us know. Together, we can build a day of service that truly honors our veterans and our community.

🎁 RAFFLE & REWARD SYSTEM

We will also be holding a raffle featuring items that are entirely donated, and only high‑quality, valuable, desirable items will be accepted. Every flag washed or repaired will count as one raffle ticket, and every hour spent helping will count as 100 tickets. Additional tickets may be purchased for $100 each.

This creates a balanced and motivating system:
• Those with financial means can purchase large quantities of tickets if they wish to “shortcut,” which helps the cause significantly.
• Lower‑income participants have an equal chance at winning through their service.
• Youth are encouraged to participate, excited by the possibility of winning something valuable while learning the meaning behind the event — even if they don’t yet fully understand the deeper purpose or value of the flag and what it represents, and why it is all so important.

If we start organizing early and build this thoughtfully, this could become a scalable model that other American communities can copy. The entire concept is designed to be rooted in the American spirit itself — not centralized, not controlled by a single charity, and not dependent on any one organization. It’s a community‑powered blueprint that any town could adopt.

From a logistical standpoint, it might make sense to centralize certain operations to reduce waste, streamline materials, or improve efficiency. But at the same time, there will be situations where local communities know their own needs better than anyone else — and can help their homeless veterans more directly, more efficiently, and with far less waste than an outside group ever could. It’s the same principle in reverse: sometimes centralization makes sense, sometimes decentralization does. That’s why the model must remain fluid — not merely quickly adaptable or adjustable, but truly multifunctional, able to operate in many forms at once, by multiple people. It shouldn’t be a tank of water with someone controlling a valve to fill cups; it should be a lake, where anyone, anywhere, can fill their own cup at any moment from any location they choose.

Total clarity and transparency would be a core principle if this ever moves forward. For now, we’re simply exploring what might be viable — and what might be possible — as we imagine how far this idea could go.

To maximize impact, it may make sense to eventually create a small construction department dedicated to building homes or to partner with groups like Habitat for Humanity or similar organizations. That would allow us to help end veteran homelessness effectively without hemorrhaging funds, and with full deliberation and accountability.

A well‑designed operation could, in theory, make a massive dent in the crisis — possibly even end it in some regions. And if such a department existed, it could also create employment opportunities for veterans themselves, tailored to their unique individual stories and strengths, one-by-one.

The financial structure can be figured out — the important part is building a model that works, that scales, and that empowers communities across the country to take action.

We are all in this together.
