Catholic League President Bill Donohue is slamming President Barack Obama for his statement commemorating the end of the Muslim Ramadan observance, saying Obama doesn't "stand with people of all faiths."

Obama's brief statement, issued earlier this week to send best wishes to Muslims during the Eid al-Fitr celebration, said that the observance reminds him and wife Michelle "of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation and strengthening the core of our democracy."

Vote Now: Do You Approve Or Disapprove of President Obama's Job Performance?

Further, Obama said he and his wife "stand with people of all faiths, here at home and around the world, to protect and advance their rights to prosper, and we welcome their commitment to giving back to their communities."

"While Eid marks the completion of Ramadan, it also celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligations that people of all faiths have to each other, especially those impacted by poverty, conflict, and disease," the president said.

Donohue wrote on the Catholic League's website that Obama does not stand with all faiths while protecting human rights.

"As you speak, Christians are being beheaded all over the Middle East because they are Christians, and those carrying out this mass murder are doing so in the name of Islam,"  Donohue wrote. "Yet you continue to say and do absolutely nothing about these unspeakable crimes. Do Christian lives mean so little to you?"

Donohue said that when he types in the phrase "President Obama Speaks Out," or "Speaks Against," into Internet search engines, subjects such as "Trayvon Martin," "Kanye West," "Fox News," and "bullying" come up.

"I can search in vain to find you condemning the genocidal slaughter of Christians by Muslims," Donohue wrote. "Muslim terrorists are killing Jews in Israel and their representatives have pledged to wipe Jews off the face of the earth. Yet your administration spends most of its time lecturing Israelis to be patient. About what? Being bombed because they are Jews? Do Jewish lives mean so little to you?"

Donohue admitted that nobody wants the president to insult Muslim Americans from the White House, "but you had an opportunity to at least call on them to speak out about what their people are doing in the Middle East, and you blew it. Instead, you decided to patronize them for all their contributions to human rights."

Portman Calls for Immediate Action to Protect Iraqi Christians

"We cannot sit idly by as Christians in Iraq suffer."

Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) appeared on Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom this morning to discuss the introduction of his bipartisan Senate resolution condemning the violence and persecution of Iraqi Christians and other religious minorities by the Islamic State in Iraq.
Portman also wrote an op-ed in The Daily Caller in which he explains that the resolution reaffirms our commitment to protecting religious freedom around the world and urges the establishment of safe havens for those in Iraq seeking refuge from religious persecution.
The resolution is supported by the Christian Coalition of America, the American Center for Law and Justice, and the Ohio Christian Alliance.
Excerpts of the op-ed are below and the full piece can be viewed here.

America Must Stand With Iraqi Christians
Sen. Rob Portman
The Daily Caller
July 30, 2014
Today in Iraq, we are witnessing the systematic purging of Christians. In Mosul — Nineveh of Bible times — where Christians have lived for nearly two thousand years, the terrorist group the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has declared war on non-Muslims.
The leaders of the Islamic State have issued an ultimatum to local Christians: convert to Islam, pay a fine that few can afford, or “die by the sword.” Many have fled and been robbed of all of their possessions before they can get out of town. Some that remain have found their homes stamped with a symbol denoting their religion and marking them for death, and untold numbers have already been killed. A decade ago, 1.5 million Christians made Iraq their home. Today, fewer than 400,000 remain.
Even before the founding of our country, religious liberty has been sacred to the American people. And when that freedom has been threatened around the world, we have led the fight against those who would deny it, lending spiritual, economic, and military support to oppressed peoples. Today we must act in Iraq.
…
We cannot sit idly by as Christians in Iraq suffer. Recently, President Obama declared on Religious Freedom Day that religious liberty “is not just an American right; it is a universal human right to be protected here at home and across the globe.” We must put action behind those words.
Today, I am introducing a bipartisan resolution in the United States Senate. It reaffirms our commitment to protecting religious freedom around the world. It calls upon the State Department to coordinate with the Kurdistan Regional Government, the Iraqis, our allies in the region, and the thousands of refugees who have come to our country over the decades, to work together to secure safe havens for those in Iraq seeking refuge from religious persecution. It demands that the Iraqi government do more to protect religious minorities within their borders, and it urges the administration to ensure the timely processing of visas for Iraq’s minority groups fleeing religious persecution.
These steps will not end the violence in Iraq, but they will give Iraqi Christians a chance to escape with their lives. Some of our allies are already providing asylum to these persecuted Christians. The U.S. must do more.
…
By taking steps to end the persecution of Christians and other minorities in Iraq, we can begin to send a message to the world that we will not stand idly by as our basic, human freedoms are violated. While we must continue to pray for Iraqi Christians, the United States of America — a country founded by those fleeing persecution — must also take action to help them.

Three short statements - How our govt is headed ... Thx Dr. H!

These three, short statements tell you a lot about the direction of our
current government and cultural environment:


1.      We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few
lunatics,  but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions
of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.


And here's another one worth considering.


2.      Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run
out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps
running out  of money? What's interesting is the first recipients "worked for"
their money, but the second didn't.


Think about it..... Last but not least


3.      Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our
military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are
not stopping the payments to illegal aliens. This is what the
illegals can receive monthly - $1500 per child, $500 for housing, food
stamps, free education including college and
they are not kept from voting.



Am I the only one missing something?  If not, pass this along.

Quote of the Year ... Attago Hill! If you can't dazzl'em with brilliance, baffle'em with B.S. ... Thx Dr. H!

Quote of the year

Keep this in mind if she runs for President.

Quote of the day, no, of the week, make that month. Yet it probably is quote of the year ! No. DECADE. Wait a minute. It's the greatest quote ever !

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State?  Well, I'm glad you asked!  My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud.  I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”

- Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014

Could someone please tell me what the hell she just said ?

 

Secular progressives vs America and especially us "Old Geezers" ... Thx Paul C!

:

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and grown old together. Yes, we are the ones some refer to as being over the hill, and that is probably true. But before writing us off completely, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, 25 cent gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes. For those of you who don't know what an icebox is, today they are electric and referred to as refrigerators. A few even remember when cars were started with a crank. Yes, we lived those days.

We are probably considered old fashioned and out-dated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Viet Nam . We can quote The Pledge of Allegiance, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn't fight for the Socialist States of America ; we fought for the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave." We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag. We know the words to the Star Spangled Banner , America , and America the Beautiful by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you have only read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.

Yes, we are old and slow these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We have loved this country, fought for it, and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that is an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies."

You youngsters have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all. You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn't have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the 'Kool-Aid.' Now you're paying the price and complaining about it. No jobs, lost mortgages, higher taxes, and less freedom.

This is what you voted for and this is what you got. We entrusted you with the Torch of Liberty and you traded it for a paycheck and a fancy house.

Well, don't worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2014 we are going to take back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like but we get where we're going, and in 2014 we're going to the polls by the millions.

This land does not belong to the man in the White House nor to the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Eric Holder. It belongs to "We the People" and "We the People" plan to reclaim our land and our freedom. We hope this time you will do a better job of preserving it and passing it along to our grandchildren. So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, Stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor our country, and thank God for the old geezers of the "Grey-Haired Brigade."

Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this once great county. You and I are Members, Don't Delete, Just Read and Pass on.

ISIS targetting Christians 'for extinction' ... Thx Newsmax!

Rep. Wolf: ISIS Targeting Christians 'for Extinction'
Republican Congressman Frank Wolf gave a passionate speech on the House floor on Tuesday accusing the militant jihadist group ISIS of genocide for "systematically targeting Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq for extinction."
"I believe that what is happening to the Christian community in Iraq is genocide,” said the Virginia legislator, who is leaving office in January after 34 years in Congress. “I also believe it is a 'crime against humanity.'"
ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) has already seized control of vast areas of the two war-torn nations. It issued a decree that Christians had to convert to Islam, pay a tax, or be killed.
"Last Thursday [July 17], the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria gave the few remaining Christians in Mosul until Saturday to leave or be killed," Wolf said.
"On June 16, for the first time in 1,600 years, there was no Mass said in Mosul."
Before the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, about 130,000 Christians lived in Mosul, but only a handful remain there now, according to CNS News.
Wolf quoted from a letter sent to the president in June, signed by 55 members of Congress, urging Obama to "prioritize additional security support for especially vulnerable populations, notably Iraq's ancient Christian community."
The letter referred to a BBC article describing "summary execution, beheadings, and even crucifixions" by ISIS, which now calls itself simply the Islamic State.
Wolf told his House colleagues: "Absent immediate action, we will most certainly witness the annihilation of an ancient faith community from the lands they've inhabited for centuries.
"Where is the Obama administration?"
Iraq's ambassador to the United States is also urging the administration to intervene, calling for air strikes to "protect Iraqi borders against the further influx of terrorists from Syria."
Ambassador Lukman Faily pointed to the Muslim extremists targeting Christians, and called for strikes against terrorist camps and supply convoys.

Organzation to oppose terrorists killing Christians ... Is it anywhere?

Islamic Terrorists killing Christians all over this world ...

Our wimpy president and congress are currently doing nothing to protect our Christians serving all over this globe.  Unlike o says, this is still a Christian nation and the terrorists should respect our strength and resolve, as a country.

What organization is rising to the occasion?  I want to join that organization.  Is it within the Tea Party?

Wisconsin ... Not for media worldwide ... Thx Pidge F!

This picture and the accompanying information says it all.  A great big "BOOOOOOOO" to the news media that never do their job of informing the public.  Please pass this on to as many persons as you can.

Wisconsin.

Ain't he a bright light!!!!!

 

When Obama stopped in at Master Lock in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last week, he was walking the plant and stopped to talk with a plant employee and looked up at the banner hanging on the wall and said to the worker and people around him, "It is great to be in a union shop, especially one as old as this union is " - - -  pointing to the banner.He then said, "A Union shop since 1848" - - - and then he went on to talk on what that banner stood for and how important it was to display it and show your union support. The worker then said to Obama that it was the flag of the State of Wisconsin - - which was founded in 1848, and that the shop was Non-Union.

This was only reported by a local radio station in Milwaukee (1130AM) and not by the major news networks. They didn't want to embarrass this "got no friggin' clue "President"Since they didn't do their job of reporting on this presidential visit, the only way for the news to get around is by us - on the Internet. The White House media said he skipped Wisconsin & just went to Minn & Chicago.

Absoluteluy fascinating! ... Thx Pidge F!

Hi Sam,  love the emails and this poem is wonderful.  Did you write it?  All is ok here.  We are still having tree trunks removed from our complex from that mini tornado we had touch down on June 19,2013 in our area and complex. We lost 27 oak trees, 17 cars were smashed and totaled.  I was lucky, my car was ok and I didn't have any problems with the windows either.  It was a real mess and the Belle View area and us looked like a war zone.  I have lived here now 46 years and have never seen anything like this storm/tornado.  Just never know what this changeable weather will be bringing this Fall and Winter. I have been wondering how you and Jeannie are doing?  Hard to believe we are all aging gracefully.  I don't hear much from Ken anymore; guess he is pretty busy with his house, making saurkraut, doing woodwork, skiing, and all the other sports he does.  Ken will be 68 this coming Sept 19th and I will be 73 on sept 23rd.  If I remember correctly, he retired back in Sept 2009 and returned to Lockport, NY.  Time certainly has gone by fast  and we just get on with our lives.   I have thought about relocating to Winchester,VA or back to Pittsburgh, PA, but decided to stay put as I know this area very well and it is so convenient to the stores, churches, etc.  I am still in my exercise classes Monday and Wednesday mornings at the senior center that is 3 miles from me and still volunteering at the Mount Vernon Hospital, our local hospital about 3.7 miles from here.  Can't believe I have been volunteering there for 14 years already.  I stay busy with helping people around our complex, and taking care of myself.  Thus far, I am pretty healthy and no serious problems as yet. But "arthur" has finally approached in my right thumb and I got some kind of volteran gel 1% to put on that and it does relieve the pain.  Have had a lot of close friends pass away since March 25th and even tho many are older than me, I still miss them a lot.  I am now working on revising my Trust and Will and hope to get this completed before the 10th of August.  Always something.  Then I am still writing resumes for some people in my building who are government employees looking for a promotion.  So that brings in a little few bucks too.  Keeps the mind in ship shape too.   Well, keep me posted on how you and Jeannie are doing.  Signing off for now. Fondly, Marge     On 07/24/14, Sam Kegley<skegley.kegley@gmail.com> wrote:   Thursday, July 24, 2014 Yesterday Poem by Sam Kegley 7/24/14 Yesterday Shall we work or shall we play Much depends on yesterday Should events just fade away or keep returnming along our way Give us back December 7, 41 Be as if we've just begun Hitler would expand due to our isolation What kind of fortress would then be our nation For the early morning of 9-11 Skipping that event would keep us in Heaven People would still read about and admire us But admiration always slips away Wake this sleeping giant though Can we make the enemies regret their yesterdays Will GI's fight and fall with wounds Because they felt the hurts of yesterdays Our surrogate fighters have volunteered and served so well How would needed draftees fare In the face of future battles hell We pray for God to bless us again although We have slipped as a nation of Christians It won't be Noah's boat to save some species Nor David's bow to bring down creepies But a return to prayer won't hurt one bit Throughout this world who've seemed to quit As we search out a better way To keep from dreading yesterday Sam Kegley of this SamKat blog Posted by Sam, Kegley at 9:48 AM

To: Marge R
Yes, Marge, I wrote the "Yesterday" poem the morning  I sent it.  I began writing for our elementary school paper , wrote many technical reports as a metallurgical engineer in my  variety of functions as a supervisor, Division Metallurgist, Sales Engineer, and at DSCC.  I started their metallurgy laboratory, with your help in getting over a million dollars of surplus equipment from other government entities at a relative pittance, some with your help in your GSA position.  It actually saved the government money, as the many reverse engineering projects Ken and I and others performed in DSCC's award winning Value Analysis Department.  They won the best VA Department perennially within DOD.  It probably came to be despised by our military-industrial complex in America. My last book was in 2013 which was my third "Acquaintances With Integrity" book and my tenth overall.  My home town of Portsmouth, Ohio helped me to break even in the costs of the books. Self-published authors have a difficult time turning a profit. Jeanie and I have Columbus' best estate/tag sale specialist coming at 1:30 today.  We are readying to move into a one floor condo nearby. We have lived in our split-level for forty-seven years and now she will soon turn 84 and I 82.  We each have had falls recently and we are scared of the eight steps from our bedroom down to our living room and kitchen.  We are pre-approved for a VA loan on the purchase of a condo. So many of our friends qualify for interviews as acquaintances with integrity, particularly you and Ken.  Americans of our generation saw many wars and horrible events.  I believe the wrath of our God is rising.  He is love, but will not tolerate our collective disrespect by our actions.  Christians and other infidels are being slaughtered all over this world, and we at home are doing little about it.  The country is strictly without leadership at this time. Well, back to my morning paper and church later, before being visited by Holly, for the pre-sales meeting. Good to know you are well and fighting the good fight!  God has blessed us all.

Yesterday Poem by Sam Kegley 7/24/14

Yesterday



Shall we work or shall we play
Much depends on yesterday

Should events just fade away
or keep returnming along our way

Give us back December 7, 41
Be as if we've just begun

Hitler would expand due to our isolation
What kind of fortress would then be our nation

For the early morning of 9-11
Skipping that event would keep us in Heaven

People would still read about and admire us

But admiration always slips away

Wake this sleeping giant though
Can we make the enemies regret their yesterdays

Will GI's fight and fall with wounds
Because they felt the hurts of yesterdays

Our surrogate fighters have volunteered
and served so well

How would needed draftees fare
In the face of future battles hell

We pray for God to bless us again although
We have slipped as a nation of Christians

It won't be Noah's boat to save some species
Nor David's bow to bring down creepies

But a return to prayer won't hurt one bit
Throughout this world who've seemed to quit

As we search out a better way
To keep from dreading yesterday

	How many people do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have  to get up during the night!!

I asked my Doctor why do people need to urinate so much at night time.

Answer –

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell).   When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) is level with the kidneys,
it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. 

I knew that you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me.

Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist! 

Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
 

I can also add to this... My doctor told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps.   Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up. 

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life

could be saved!

I have already shared this information. What about you?

Do forward this message. It may save lives!

Putin makes more sense than any American politician ... Thx Dr. H!

Subject: Vladimir Putin on Muslims

 Not sure I agree with Putin on Ukraine and few other things, but this is good.

 

Subject:  Vladimir Putin on Muslims

No wonder he was selected by Forbes as the most powerful person in the world.

This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin.
 
I would suggest that not only our leaders but every citizen should pay attention to this advice. How scary is that?
 
It is a sad day when a Communist Leader makes more sense than our LEADERS here in the Americas, but here it is!
 

Error! Filename not specified.

 
Vladimir Putin's speech - SHORTEST SPEECH EVER.
 
On August 04, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:
 
"In Russia, live like Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, it should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslim's then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law.
 
"Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims.
 
"When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslims Minorities Are Not Russians."
 
The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.
 
If you keep this to yourself, you are part of the problem!

I saw the most amazing demonstration on my computer recently…it is a (skin-spray) gun with which researcher’s are spraying badly-burned skin, with the victim’s own stem cells and the burns are taking mere days instead of weeks to heal.  The demonstration was with a man who was accidentally burned when another man threw a cup of gasoline onto a burning neighborhood bonfire.  The man suffered second degree burns over the top right portion of his body, including the right side of his face neck and shoulder.  The video stated that the man was treated on a Friday, and the skin was healed by the following Monday.

I get a regular website entitled “Big Greek Daddy” with funny and interesting videos, and this information was part of the Monday, July 21, selection.

 

Oh, I failed to report that Brian Estepp, the glass-marble specialist, and Morphy Auction House of Pennsylvania executive, was in the Rosemount area visiting his Mom and Dad, Bob and Carolyn Estepp over the Father’s Day holiday back in June.  The family drove down to see Jack Lewis, the gunsmith/antique dealer, owner of the Shawnee Diner just east of Buena Vista, and they met with Mr. Lewis’ son-in-law, Gary Taylor, to discuss and view some of Taylor’s marble collection.  Brian telephoned me and told how he enjoyed meeting the family.  He was already acquainted with Jack’s oldest son, also named Jack Lewis, who is the firearms specialist with Cowan Auctions, in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Les Cowan, the owner of the Cincinnati firm, appears often on the Antiques Roadshow which airs on PBS tv. 

The other Cincinnati firm which I’ve written about recently, is Wiebold Studios, an art and antiques restoration company in the Queen City.  I wrote about Richard (Dick) Shy who retired from the U. S. Marines and eventually utilized his artistic talent and now works part-time restoring artwork.  He is a fellow 1957 graduate of Portsmouth High School.  Wiebold has a message appearing in conjunction with their support of the Antiques Roadshow, and I always think of Dick Shy when the hand appears to wipe dirt and grime from the picture.

 

Although I moved away from my early interest in antiques and collectibles when I began my long newspaper career, I maintain an abiding interest in the business.  At one time I had a small antique shop located on the east end of Lucasville, in property owned by Charles Scaff. 

I originally became interested in antiques, as a 14-year old and became acquainted with James and Florine McConnell, owners of Hilltop Antiques on Kinney’s Lane.  They were the parents of Linda McConnell, a new summertime friend I met while selling flavored crushed-ice snowballs from the Park Shoppe Snowball stand on 17^th Street.  Linda and Peggy Fairchild, another Lincoln Grade Schooler, would walk home from Dreamland Pool, and stop at my stand.  I remember that I trumped up some excuse to close the stand early one evening, and the girls waited around and Dave Otworth and I walked them the rest of their way home through Greenlawn Cemetery.  That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship with the girls and the McConnell family.  Linda, now last name Noel, is the widow of longtime Portsmouth fireman, Jack Noel, and Linda lives on Forest Avenue, in the duplex next door to my lady-friend, Nora Netzer.

 

This coming weekend, July 25, 26 and 27, 2014, there is to be a Native American Artifacts show in Manchester, Ohio.  Val Minch, now of Hickory, North Carolina, is a long-time friend and fellow relic collector, and he will be visiting for a few days so we can attend the show.

Acuity Flagpole Project

Standing 400 feet tall, the new Acuity Insurance Flagpole is the tallest flagpole in North America (#tallestusflag).  Located on the Acuity Insurance headquarters campus in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, along Interstate 43 between Milwaukee and Green Bay, the pole supports a 60-foot-wide by 120-foot-long American flag.  Located at the base of the flagpole is a brick paver patio featuring the names of Sheboygan County residents killed in active duty.

Flagpole Facts:

• 400-foot flagpole weighs approximately 420,000 pounds
• There are two versions of the 60- by 120-foot flag:- 220 pound flag is flown during normal conditions- 350 pound flag is flown during harsher weather
• Each star is 3 feet high and each stripe is 4 1/2 feet wide
• 680 cubic yards of concrete used in foundation
• Over 500 gallons of paint cover the pole
• 11-foot diameter at base tapers to 5 1/2-foot diameter at top
• Three pendulum-style tuned mass dampers reduce movement and vibration
• Designed to withstand a low temperature of -42°F
