Massachusetts, left on one of his many world voyages. Friends presented him with a flag of 24 stars. As the banner opened to the ocean breeze, he exclaimed, "Old Glory". He kept his flag for many years, protecting it during the Civil War, until it was flown over the Tennessee capital. His "Old Glory" became a nickname for all American flags. The summer looks out from her brazen tower, Through the flashing bars of July. Francis Thompson JULY FUN FACTS July is named in tribute to Julius Caesar - unlike Caesar Salad which also celebrates it's "birth" this month on the fourth. Mark Antony had July named after Caesar in honor of Caesar's birthdate this month. The full moon of July is sometimes reflected as the Hay Moon Month or Wort Moon Month. Other Native American tribes refer to this month as the month of the Raspberry Moon. WELCOME We at Ligonier Gardens would like to take the time to welcome our newest members to our community.
