9/11 Flag Display

webmaster — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 02:23:43 +0000

The flag which will go on display on our flagpole this evening will be the 9/11 Remembrance Flag. This flag is very unique in its design for it has an all white background with the outline of the State of Pennsylvania on the outside followed by the Pentagon with 9 11 in the middle. It is interesting to note that the 11 symbolizes the twin towers.

Below in blue is the word REMEMBER with New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania beneath.

This flag will remain on display until September 15th. If you have some free time pay a visit and enjoy its beauty.

State Flag Display

One of our members is a avid collector of vintage flags. The member is going to display various vintage state and other flags at the HFMVA base over the course of the next few weeks.

The flag which will be on display this week (8-25-11) will be that of Maryland which was one of the original thirteen colonies gaining statehood in 1788.

Meaning: The flag is sectioned into four quarters. The top left and bottom right are the same and the top right and the bottom left quarters are also the same. The flag features the arms of two English families, the Calvert family and the Crossland family. The black and gold arms represent the Calverts and the red and white arms represent the Crosslands.

A gold and black flag was used by the colony, until the American revolutionary war. During the American Civil War, Maryland remained with the Union (North) however, many of the citizens sympathized with the Confederacy (South). These sympathizers supported the south by wearing red and white emblems. Maryland soldiers fighting with the south also wore the emblems to identify their state of origin.

By the end of the war both sets of colors (black and gold, red and white) had become associated with Maryland. In 1880, a flag containing both sets of colors was first flown. It was not until March 9, 1904 that the flag was adopted.

The flag will be on display throughout this week starting this evening. Feel free to stop by sometime and take a look.

On April 13th the Honeoye Falls community held a candlelight vigil for Kade O’Brien. Kade was a Marine and a member of the Honeoye Falls community. HFMVA was greatly impacted by this tragic accident and many members who knew Kade and are members of his family. Many officers and members came out to show our support for the family and community that has been affected by this horrible tragedy.
