Who cut the American flag into pieces and was honored for it?
Robert Peary, who left pieces of the flag scattered at the North Pole.
Is it ever appropriate to fly the flag upside down?
Yes, but only in an emergency. It means “Help Me! It’s an emergency! Call the police! I am in dire trouble and need immediate help!”
Francis Scott Key wrote the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner” on the back on an envelope. What is the source of the music for it?
The music is from an old English drinking song called “To Anacreon in Heaven.”
The American flag first flew over a foreign fort in what country?
Libya — over Fort Derne, on the shores of Tripoli.
Shipwreck” Kelly (1885-1952) was famous for sitting for long periods of time. What did he have to do with flags?
He set many flagpole-sitting records. He sat for 49 days on one flagpole. He once estimated that he spent a total of over 20,000 hours sitting on flagpoles. Flagpole sitting was a craze started in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1929.

White Chocolate Dipped Chips
Equipment
- 1 bowl to melt icing
- 1 spoon to stir icing
Ingredients
- 1 small bag of Cape Code potato chips
- 1 8 oz bag of white chocolate morsels
- 3 Betty Crocker icing packets in red, white, and blue
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in microwave at 30 second intervals stirring to make sure all morsels are melted
- Dip potato chip in chocolate and lay on a piece of wax paper
- After chocolate has hardened, decorate your chips with icing and sugar crystals (I used crystals just to give some shimmer and for an extra sugary taste)
- Once chocolate is completely hardened on chip, transfer to dish. They will keep for 2 - 3 days depending on how you store them.

Very festive Bobbi Jo! Sure getting me in the spirit for the 4th. And I love the history lesson. Much of it I didn’t know. I really love your table scapes and what theme you come up with. They all are unique and well thought out! ????????❤️
