Managing date for flying flags

[PRGringo]

Does anyone keep a digital calendar of dates for flying specific flags?

I have created an Excel spreadsheet for dates that are important to me. I track the 50 states entry dates, national holidays, some state holidays, some WW2, Revoutionary War and Naval War of 1812 dates, dates having to do with Columbus and a few miscellaneous other dates.

I was curious to compare notes with others in that it would save me some time and research.

oh cool idea - I never thought of doing such a thing!

Would be cool if you could put this on the internet so I can see?

If you have Excel, I can send you a copy of the file if you want. I have Excel 97.

It should work and I think it will work with MS Works too.

Steve and all,

I also keep an Excel spreadsheet of flag-flying days. The majority of mine are international flags, but I also do some US and British historical commemorations. Tomorrow, (21 October) for example, we'll be flying the British white ensign, Union jack and Nelson's "Engage the Enemy More Closely" signal for the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. Yesterday (19 October) was the anniversary of Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, so we flew a 13-star US flag, the pre-1800 British union flag and the French royal naval ensign.

My spreadsheet is somewhat rough, but I'd be glad to share it with anyone interested.
