That is a very good question!
As a veteran, I shouldn't have to say that I love my country and the flag it represents. When I had a flag pole years ago, the flag went up in the morning and came down at sunset. But, the lawn flags, imo, are not in the same league, so to speak. Like a flag design shirt, dress or towel, or the "flag themed" wind socks at many of the gates, they send a message but not in an "official" way. By putting lawn lags out for a couple of days, it let's folks walking or driving by, day or night, that I recognize the
reason for the special day, and it isn't just some random day off. Simply put, imo, the flag on the pole is a flag, while the little lawn flags are decorations.
