The Loudoun County Seal is a genuine coat-of-arms devised in
1968 by the House of Heralds in London.
Based on the coat-of-arms of the Earl of Loudoun,
for whom the county was named, it was the first official
seal accorded to an American county. The Countess
of Loudoun and the Queens representative, the Rouge Dragon, in a
ceremony never before held in the United States,
presented the coat-of-arms, attendant flag, and a 300-poundstone from
Loudoun Castle in
Scotland to the County. In heraldic language the arms are "Gyronny
ermine and gules with
fordure embattled vert gutly argent."

OUR
PATRIOT ANCESTORS
While most of the Revolutionary War battles in Virginia remained east of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
it can be said that there was no lack of patriotism in the outspoken
citizens of Loudoun
County. So active
were they in the cause of American freedom, that they gained the proud
distinction of furnishing the largest number of soldiers to Washington's Continental Army of any county in Virginia. We are
justifiably
proud of the sacrifices
our patriotic ancestors gave to ensure American Independence, and honor
their names in this listing.

THE
AMERICAN FLAG
|
Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the
Flag of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands, one
Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all.
By Francis Bellamy
The Star-Spangled Banner
"Oh, say, can you see
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through
the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so
gallantly streaming;
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet
wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the
brave?"
How Does One Properly Fly the Flag?
1. The flag is
always hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.
2. The flag is never allowed to touch
the ground or the floor.
3. When hung over a sidewalk on a rope
extending from a building to a pole, the union stars
are always
away from the building.
4. When vertically hung over the center of the street,
the flag always has the union stars to the
north in
an east/west street, and to the east in a north/south street.
5. The flag of the United States of America should be
at the center and at the highest point of the group
when
a number of
flags of States
or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from
staffs.
6. The flag should never be festooned,
drawn back, nor up, in folds but always allowed to fall free.
7. The flag should be displayed at
half-staff until noon on Memorial Day then raised to the top
of the
staff.
8. Never fly the flag upside down
except as a signal of distress in instances of extreme danger
to life or property.
9. The flag is never flown in inclement
weather except when using an all-weather flag.
10. The flag can be flown
every day from sunrise to sunset and at night if illuminated properly.
|
This information conforms
to the current Federal flag code.
