ELGIN SEPARATION SOLUTIONS’ Post

Elgin Separation Solutions proudly observes National Flag Day to honor the symbol of our nation's unity, strength, and resilience. The American flag embodies the core values of freedom, opportunity, and perseverance—principles that drive our commitment to innovation and excellence in the separation technology industry. Did you know? There have been 27 versions of the American Flag. From the 1777 original that had 13 stars and 13 stripes for the American colonies, there have been many changes and iterations of the flag. Each time a state was added to the union, a star was added. We, of course, now stand with 50 stars and 13 stripes. The colors were chosen carefully. The Red, White and Blue did not just happen by accident. The founding fathers wanted the colors to have meaning, not just look visually pleasing. Red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity & innocence and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. Five American Flags have made it to the moon. You have probably seen Neil Armstrong on the moon with an American Flag, but he is not the only one to plant one on the surface of the moon. Five additional Apollo missions, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17, ended with an astronaut placing a flag on the moon.
