Many veterans tomorrow will be quietly honoring their departed brothers and sister vets by placing American Flags on veterans graves in cemeteries across the U.S.
The leftists have ensured that the media do not publicize that tomorrow May 1st is LOYALTY DAY.
“Loyalty Day originally began as “Americanization Day” in 1921 to counter the Communists’ May 1 celebration of the Russian Revolution. Through a resolution adopted in 1949, May 1 evolved into Loyalty Day. Observances began in 1950 on April 28 and climaxed May 1 when more than five million people across the nation held rallies. In 1958, Congress enacted Public Law 529 proclaiming Loyalty Day a permanent fixture on the nation’s calendar.”
Fly the American Flag tomorrow.
How do I Show My Americanism on Loyalty Day?
By Paul Ramone, eHow Contributor
Loyalty Day is a holiday which is observed on May 1st in the United States as recognition of freedom and American heritage. If you want to show your loyalty like a true patriot, you can do so easily with a few adjustments to your wardrobe and attitude. You’ll quickly find that celebrating the freedoms of the USA never felt so good.
Instructions
1
Place an American flag pin on your chest over your clothing for the day. This move puts the “b” in subtle for sure. Not only will it portray your knowledge of this lesser known holiday, but also may prompt enlightening discussion on loyalty, patriotism and the liberties of freedom.
2
Participate in a Loyalty Day parade. Small towns across the United States celebrate this holiday with parades filled with children and veterans of war. Visit your local town hall to ask how to participate in one of these parades. If your town does not hold a parade, ask how you can make one happen.
3
Visit a local VFW (Veterans of Foreign War) post to make a donation or join in celebrating this often ignored, yet critically important holiday.

National Military Appreciation Month (May 2012) includes Loyalty Day (1st), Military Spouse Appreciation Day (11th), VE Day(8th), Armed Forces Day (19th), and Memorial Day (30th). This very important month honors, remembers, recognizes and appreciates all military personnel; those men and women who have served throughout our history and all who now serve in uniform and their families as well as those Americans who have given their lives in defense of our freedoms we all enjoy today.
I work on a base.
I’ve never heard of Loyalty day (this is sinerely the first time). There is nothing about this on our intranet, and this is not apparently an “Official” day, in the content as you expressed.
But, it seems that the word on Loyalty Day is not getting out, which I find curious. This seems to be a very regional observation; or else it would be widely dessimiated across the various branches of the military. Tomorrow is just another day at work, which is unexpected.
I fly the American Flag on my house every single day. Tomorrow will be no different.
