Should be able to leverage WolfRAM TO DETERMINE IF IT'S FLAG DAY OR NOT.

btw: Though it is commented out I just want to point out that the use of some construct like '| int' might cause errors from Home Assistant core 2022.1 on if the sensor provides a 'unavailable'. In this case a '| int(9999)' where 9999 is the default value would help. Came across this a few days ago and would like make people aware of the problem ahead of the time an error will appear.

This is proving more difficult than I thought since WolfRam alpha only tells me if it's ACTUALLY FLAG day (JUNE 14TH) and not A flag worthy day.. https://blog.directauto.com/car-life/days-to-fly-american-flag/

Might need to build a different way to do this .. maybe a combination of an XML file and some wolfram alpha .. or maybe this could be my first HACS integration. hmmm..

This solution seems to require a subscription too (for the flag calendar specifically).
