November 11, 2019 – Washington & United States

Image of the Flag of the State of Washington

Today, on the flag pole is the flag of the State of Washington, in commemoration of the state’s admission to the Union on November 11, 1889. The flag flying was a gift from my friend Nova on the occasion of my moving back to California after ten years living in Washington. As we were both employees of the Washington State Legislature at the time, Nova chose to abide by RCW 9.86.030 and not have my coworkers sign the flag which was flown over the Washington State Legislative Building in Olympia.

The flag of Washington is the only state flag with a field of green and is the only state flag featuring a likeness of a President.

The flag of the United States is hung today in honor of Veterans Day, a holiday which honors the service of all people who have served in the armed forces of the United States.
