Harry's school switched to a summer camp program a couple of weeks ago and apparently they start each day raising the flag, saying the pledge of allegiance, and singing songs. I knew the first two of those happened, but it wasn't until Harry started singing the "Grand Old Flag" constantly that I realized that third one. That constant singing might sound annoying, but I hardly think of it that way. Oh sure, Harry shouts it out when we're not paying him enough attention, but if it weren't the Grand Old Flag it would be something else and probably something far more grating. Mostly it's just great to hear him sing and that mostly because it's out of character for Harry to be so overt. There are other songs, too, mostly silly kid songs, that have come out a time or two. But, with Independence Day and all the flags around it's been the first two lines of Grand Old Flag for the past week or so.
