The lazy squirrels at the Port Huron cemetery in Michigan are using the small US flags placed on the grave sites during Memorial Day to line their nests. Patriotic little rodents aren’t they? Seems one squirrel in particular loves the red, white and blue and has been seen plucking the flags off the staffs of several graves and dragging the cloth to his tree, while his missus watches on with pride.

HAND ON HEART NOW COME ON !!
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watch’d, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
