TRUMPS' Final PETTY Act to Pres Biden -He Cancelled White House Staff
Biden Inauguration Fields of Flags & Pillars of Light Illuminated
•20 Jan 2021...The Sun UK
Organisers for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration installed about 200,000 flags on Monday, representing the American people who cannot travel to the inauguration amid a worsening coronavirus pandemic and extraordinary security precautions.
The flags represent all of the states and US territories, and they also are meant to honour the 400,000 Americans who will have officially died from COVID-19 by the time Biden is sworn in.
The Presidential Inaugural Committee illuminated the "Field of Flags" on Monday night, with 56 pillars of light — one for each of the 50 states and six US territories — beamed into the air for 46 seconds, a reference to Biden becoming the 46th US president.
Biden arrives in Washington on Tuesday, and he and incoming first lady Jill Biden will spend Tuesday night at Blair House, near the White House.
Outgoing Trump plans to leave the White House on Wednesday morning, making him the first president since Andrew Johnson — the first impeached president — to skip the inauguration of his successor.
