As I was out shopping this morning, the only flag on private property that I saw at half-staff was mine. I also noticed that flags at some gatehouses were not at half-staff.

As a US citizen and a veteran, I was disgusted. Especially the resident who was also flying a military flag under their American flag at full staff. At first, I thought that they may have gone north but they were in their yard.
No it was Dec.8th. that Congress declared war. But that's ok.... I'm not disgusted with you.
