PROUD OF OUR FLAG

[crazyphil]

I was reading the thread named Any flag buffs out there.
Although interesting, I thought it was going to be about those
of us who are enthusiastically proud of old glory. I Know I am.

The one on the left is in my office.
The 2nd one is in my living room.
The 3rd one ' I will only buy flag stamps.
I even like the flag displayed on my return address.
I fly a flag outside on special days.
How about you?

Our neighborhood is pretty good about flying Old Glory, depending on the upcoming weather forecast. Most of the time I can look up and down the street and see 7 flags flying, including ours. Just around the corner I can see the Veteran that proudly flies his also.

I love the flag and what it stands for .

Have a blessed day,

Leon

 

[mrchick]

I fly a flag outside every day.

Have a 3' X 5' that I put out for holidays. 24/7 the pictured USMC Stone with Flags is in our front yard. Yes, it is lit at night.

 

[Rudi]

OLD GLORY. Stars and stripes for ever.

 

[Jebus35745]

Our flag is out 24-7, even installed a light on it at nite the way it's supposed to be. I fly it proudly, Larry

US citizenship wasn't bestowed upon me as a birthright, rather I earned it so I hold it a little closer to my chest than others.

Mine's outside hanging every day, weather permitting. Some special days, historically to America, I have small flags lining my sidewalk to the front walk. I also rig a light up to keep my main flag lit up all week end on nat'l holidays. I have a couple down in my basement hangout. In my living room the only flag is the folded one from my dad's funeral. Yeah, I'm proud of our flag & what it stands for.
Tomorrow, Dec. 8th is the anniversary of John Lennon's murder and Jim Morrison's birthday. Some think that's reason for a national remembrance day. Both actually changed America in their arts in some small way.

Shortly after I moved into my little city house I installed a 25ft flagpole and display the flag 24/7, lighted at night and only comes down when winds hit above 50mph. Todays flags only last about 6 months before they need to be retired and replaced but that is a small cost to pay the proper respect. Started a trend on my street with about 6 others popping up over the past 5 years.

Three-Hundred-Sixty-Five.

[lkabug]

It's an honor fly my flag. Every day.

The flag of our Nation is a beautiful thing. We fly two flags, as my wife and I, both civilian employees at USACE, have both deployed OCONUS to war zones in uniform, in service to our great Nation. God bless the U.S.A.!

In 1906 George M. Cohan wrote "You're a Grand Old Flag". It quickly sold over a million copies of sheet music being the first song from a musical to do so.

I remember singing it in 8th grade music class.

Still relevant today.

Chorus
You're a grand old flag,
You're a high-flying flag,
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of the land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'Neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
But should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Flying all the time

Can't see it well but an anchor is at the base of the flag pole.

 

[moosedog]

Got one on a 30 ft pole in my front yard that flies 24/7.
