My flag was flying proudly as were many others in the Village of Charlotte.

My husband served in the Marines and he is proud to have done so. Just because we did not put a flag in our yard does not mean he loves this country or Marines any less. It is his choice whether or not to put a flag in the yard.

Not sure where you drove, but many homes have there backyards facing many roads that non residents use to cut thru our towns.
Most people display there flags in the front of there homes. People where walking thru our neighborhoods putting flags in our front yards. This is why I live here, we care,we appreciate, we honor in our own way.
God Bless our Veterans, God Bless our villages, and God Bless you.

+1 - 100% just because there are no flags don’t mean that people aren’t patriotic or don’t care.

Respectfully, Also a veteran of 30 years.

This was in response to CharlieO1126 - Combat Wounded Veteran.

Too often, I see those flags touching the ground, so I don't display them. Having a flag touch the ground is a terrible thing.

Bingo!

Waving a flag does not a patriot make.

I fly “THE COLORS” with PRIDE. I personally chose to do one at HALF MAST with extra HONERS going out to all who died but were never found. I placed a sign along this that reads “MIA”. I simply want to honor all in PRAYER. Hope this doesn’t offend anyone

Must have been a really short drive.

Would you please read page “2” posted by Chappy and advise me of your thought, thank you.

I think it's very uplifting to see flags in many front yards for all the patriotic holidays, especially Veterans Day, Memorial Day and the 4th of July if possible. I also think that if one person in the neighborhood puts them out, the rest will follow. It's catching!!

How wonderful that so many people added flags to their yards! Many people chose other ways to celebrate our service men and women. We are truly blessed to live in America and to honor those who protect our freedom.
