“I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it.” - John Thune

Despite all of its pageantry, fashion and flair the key figure or symbol of our Presidential Inauguration is still the American flag. Although politicians of every party and ideology attended the transition of power from one president to the next, the icon present at every American inauguration- connecting our past, present and future- is Old Glory, the American flag. Flags are the physical representation of their nation. For Americans, our flag is a recognizable yet noble symbol threading together numerous moments in our lives—we see American flags at our schools, churches, offices and homes.

The Historic Battle Grove Cemetery in Cynthiana, KY doesn’t let being in small town keep their patriotism on a small scale. Established in 1868, the cemetery has an extensive history and is the resting place of veterans who lived and died more than a century ago. For the past 15 years, local Boy Scout and Girl Scouts troops, along with their troop leaders, have placed Carrot-Top cemetery flags on the gravesites of veterans as a part of the Veteran’s Day program. According to Cemetery Superintendent Billy Grayson, “It’s thrilling to see boys and girls of all ages place flags on the graves of those who served our country long before the children were born. Having them here is like bringing the future to visit the past”. Boy and Girl Scout Troop Leaders thought the project would encourage community involvement and awareness, educate the scouts, and inspire civic responsibility.

Carrot-Top Industries President Dwight Morris announced the company will uphold the overtime rule that was intended to go into effect December 1, 2016. The new wage rule follows a March 13, 2014 Presidential Memorandum directing the Labor Department to update overtime standards. The proposed statue alters the Fair Labor Standards Acts by raising the threshold of those eligible for overtime from $455 per week ($23,600 annually) to $913 per week ($47,476 annually). The rule also updated the total annual compensation level raising it from $100,000 to $134,000. The new overtime-pay rule will make overtime pay available to 4.2 million American workers.

National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day and the 75th Anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor are one of the most significant observances that occur in our nation. This year marks the 75th anniversary of Japan’s Sunday morning, surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, Guam and Wake Island. In December 2016, our nation once again finds itself divided on several social and political fronts which threaten our unity, common joy and peace. In 1941, having been ravaged by years of rampant unemployment and widespread homelessness brought on the Great Depression; our nation stood at the brink of hopelessness and despair. In his March 4, 1933 Inaugural Address, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sought to acknowledge the bounty of blessings still available to our country and recommit the nation’s strength proclaiming, “This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. (In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory.)"

Carrot-Top, like thousands of small and large businesses across our nation, is filled with people facing a wide range of issues that affect our lives: rising costs, child care, parental care, health concerns and other matters. Americans all across our nation are constantly juggling life and work in hopes of improving our lives or simply trying to survive. If we are lucky, and those of us here at Carrot-Top are, our places of employment are not just locations where we log, four, eight or twelve hour shifts. They are places where diverse people work together and, perhaps, become friends-- learning and sharing the experiences and events that shape each other’s lives. If we are extremely lucky, those friends become like a family, sharing good times and uplifting each other in tougher times. A few years ago one of the members of our Carrot-Top family faced (and continues to face) one of the toughest battles of her life. Her struggle united us and one of the best ways to honor her, and it, is to share it with others. Here is her story……

Established days after the polarizing terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Flags Across the Nation promotes patriotism through the soothing and comforting power of art. Part of the organization’s vision is to make “a creative and patriotic difference in the lives of our children, our military and our veterans” and its efforts work to bring that vision to fruition. Run and operated solely by volunteers and completely funded through donations and in-kind gifts, Flags Across the Nation creates opportunities and events where children and soldiers may make patriotic expressions that offer support and bring about healing for our nation’s wounded warriors.
