veteran's day

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans, that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

For all those who have served in the military- get a flag on Veteran's day and receive 10 percent off your purchase here at American Heritage. We are located in Creve Coeur off of Olive Blvd.

Robin Williams as the American Flag

military flags

The Marine Corps Flag features an eagle, globe, and anchor insignia. Accepted in 1868, the symbol became part of the official seal of the Marine Corp after final approval by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954.

The Navy Flag also features an eagle; its wings are spread-out to suggest it is defending a ship at sea. Nautical imagery includes a circular rope surrounding the central insignia, while the words United States Navy are presented in blue letters on a yellow scroll and battle streamers represent major battles in history.

An Eagle and scroll are symbolized on the Air Force Flag. A meaningful alternative to some of the company’s other flags; it features the Air Force coat of arms, highlighted among an ultramarine blue background. The 13 white stars represent the original colonies, while the outstretched wings of the bald eagle frame three of these, representing the National Defense establishment’s three branches – the Army, Air Force, and Navy. The flag and symbol was approved in 1951 and remains the same today.

As other military flags do, the Coast Guard Flag has an eagle as its centerpiece. It has a white background with a banner, “United States Coast Guard” printed on top, while a shield on the eagle’s breast features a blue chief, set over vertical white and red stripes. The date 1790 is still printed on the emblem; this is the date the Revenue Cutter Service, which later became the Coast Guard, was founded. Formed in 1915, the Coast Guard has retained the same imagery.

Prior to 1956, the Army was the only military branch that was without a flag to represent the entire service.  On June 14th of that year, the flag of the US Army was unveiled to the public.  The flag features a white background, with “United States Army” written on a red scroll and the original War Office seal above it in blue, with the year of the Army’s creation, “1775,” at the bottom in blue.

today in history

On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress formally declares the name of the new nation to be the “United States” of America. This replaced the term “United Colonies,” which had been in general use.

In the Congressional declaration dated September 9, 1776, the delegates wrote, “That in all continental commissions, and other instruments, where, heretofore, the words ‘United Colonies’ have been used, the stile be altered for the future to the “United States.”

A resolution by Richard Henry Lee, which had been presented to Congress on June 7 and approved on July 2, 1776, issued the resolve, “That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States….” As a result, John Adams thought July 2 would be celebrated as “the most memorable epoch in the history of America.” Instead, the day has been largely forgotten in favor of July 4, when Jefferson’s edited Declaration of Independence was adopted. That document also states, “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES.” However, Lee began with the line, while Jefferson saved it for the middle of his closing paragraph.

By September, the Declaration of Independence had been drafted, signed, printed and sent to Great Britain. What Congress had declared to be true on paper in July was clearly the case in practice, as Patriot blood was spilled against the British on the battlefields of Boston, Montreal, Quebec and New York. Congress had created a country from a cluster of colonies and the nation’s new name reflected that reality.

Show support of this country by flying an US flag. Don't have one- come into American Heritage today to get one or give us a call to place an order.

signs

You already know it’s important for your sign to express the right information to the right people in order to boost sales and brand awareness. Have you ever considered the influence that color choice can have on your potential customers? Much work has been done on determining the subtle effects that color can have on our psychological states. At American Heritage, our artist is knowledgeable in how to effectively use color to make your advertisement pop in the right ways. You can come to us with a concept, sketch or goal and the professionals working in our design services will turn your ideas into compelling signs and advertisements.

Consider your target audience
Age, gender, interests and nationality are just a few of the factors that determine how people react to color. Consider who is looking for your product when deciding on artwork for your signs and banners. Consider who your business targets, and why.
Think about your sign location. It’s very important that your sign be visible no matter where you need it, but consider your advertising location as well. Some studies claim visibility is up to 40% higher with this combination.

People are strongly influenced by colors, which can subconsciously make us feel certain emotions or feel compelled to do certain things. Artists generally agree that there are five “color groups,” each with different effects on the brain.
