Just a Symbol???? Sorry but I feel very differently about our flag. As I said before, I do not fly it so that other people can think of me as a Patriot. I fly it for all the Americans that can no longer see it. Like those brave soldiers at Arlington National Cemetary and other burial places here in America and in Europe and around the world. I fly it to show respect for all that are gone or M.I.A. I especially fly it for myself, so I will never forget the sacrifices made for us by so many. But, like all things American (Thank God) We can all choose how we give thanks and to mourn. Im my generation we were always taught to salute and to honor our flag. We did it at home, at school and during our military service. I believe those were good things, compared to what goes on today. 9/11 was a very sad day but, 9/12 we all came together. We should keep that spirit alive.
Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!!!!!
