. Have noticed over the past few years, there seems to be FAR less 'American Flag Flying' - even in The Villages. Must be sign of the times - some folks showing their "less patriotic" sides since Nov 2016>>> Can't be that their flags are worn out...IS IT? USA TODAY 'We refuse to celebrate': July 4th protesters say not all Americans are free" CHICAGO — Not all Americans are kicking back to watch fireworks to celebrate independence this holiday weekend. Amid thousands of protests against police brutality and a pandemic that has disproportionately ravaged communities of color, many people planned to spend Fourth of July drawing attention to what they say is a hypocritical celebration of freedom... The Independence Day holiday "doesn’t really mean anything when Black people weren't free on July 4th and those same liberties weren't afforded to us," said Kerrigan Williams, co-founder of Freedom Fighters D.C., who has been co-organizing marches in the city for at least three weeks. "Independence for people of color has not been part of our livelihood. We’re constantly murdered, harassed because of police brutality all over the country. The concept of freedom does not seem to come to our doorstep, even though we've been here 400 years," Yosef said. "We look it as an abomination to recognize anything that comes with the Fourth of July." July 4th protests: Some refuse to celebrate independence amid BLM . . |

We are displaying flags in Sabal Chase but not as many as we are getting older. Thank the media for less pride in being an American.

Well in that case, they obviously will miss out on the celebration that goes along with the holiday, like families getting together, having a BBQ, a few cold beers, enjoying a swimming pool if one has one, watching fireworks, etc. if they prefer to protest rather than enjoy the holiday, their loss.
