Flag Day was another busy day for Kerry McCoy, president of Flagandbanner.com, when she celebrated the 230th anniversary of the birth of the United States flag.

The morning started off with Tracy Douglass from KARK channel 4. Tracy and Kerry showed viewers the sewing process of making the flag, informed viewers about the history of the American Flag, and how to fold the American flag. They also discussed the beginnings of Vexillology, the scientific study of flag history and symbolism.

Jason Harper from KATV Channel Seven popped in for a little while to discuss with Kerry about the trends for decorating, and the products she has to offer to decorate your home, office, business, or event. Kerry and Jason also informed viewers about the history of the American flag. After filming ended with Channel 7 and Channel 4, Kerry went to KSSN 94.1for her annual flag give away with DJ Bob Robbins. From the Clear Channel Radio parking lot Bob and Kerry gave out American flags on staffs, or “stick flags” to passer-bys and flag supporters.

FlagandBanner.com’s president Kerry McCoy had a full day this Flag Day! Refreshing citizens’ memories on Flag Day history, flag etiquette as well as showing the great patriotic home decor items available in our gift shop, Kerry started at 5:30 a.m. at local TV station KATV (ABC affiliate) for their Daybreak show.

Afterwards, she rushed to Clear Channel’s KSSN country radio station to chat with DJ Bob Robbins.

Finally, Kerry finished up the day by appearing at the Aerospace Education Center in Little Rock with the only IMAX theater in Arkansas. She handed out miniature flags for their premier of “Fire From The Sky, A Diary Over Japan” on their large-format screens. What a day!
