The implication all over this thread is that not having a flag outside implies a lack of patriotism.
Patriotism is not words, not planting flags...it is living it each day with your actions.
As someone who has served this country proudly, in the militRy, in government and political work and in many charitable endeavors, many specifically in the name of and at the request of our country, comments like this are extremely offensive.
Someone said on this thread that Times change.....I agree, but this definition has not changed, and the lack of respect is apparent.
I am sure this will get reported and deleted...."Times Change"....but I need no help in completely defining and living patriotism to my country.
