I got today mixed up with Flag Day (June 14).
This happens to be Stars & Stripes Forever Day.
It honors our nation's National March,
composed by John Philip Sousa.
I think I know what song it is, but let's check out You-Tube just to be sure.

Yes, it was the same song. I don't think I've heard it much since I was a little kid. I can remember it being popular music for those old-timey cartoons we watched on Saturday mornings. I'm going to be perfectly honest: the song seems a bit frivolous to me. But it sounds really good played by a marching band in a parade.
