How many fly the American flag


Posted: Aug 31, 2010

And is sometimes or all the time?

My cheap one was ruined by the wind so I should buy a new one.

I have a big flagpole with a 5 x 8 and also fly one from my front porch. I can't say I'm as faithful as I should be about bringing my flag in at night or when it rains, but I replace my flags when they're faded or torn.

I also have a thing about not buying a foreign-made flag. Flags are expensive, but I'll be darned if I'll buy one made in China!

We fly ours all the time, keep it up at night with a light shining on it. (you're suppose to light up the flag if you fly it at night.)

We burn them as they age. We also purchase only American made flags. My husband and I also fly our state flags, Texas and New Mexico on occasion.

We get our BIG US flag out for labor day, Veterans day, Independence day (which happens to also be my father's birthday) and other such occasions.

We usually fly a flag. Mostly during the summer as the winter time here is HORRID on flags. This year we have been pretty lax it in. Hubby is full-time military so we have some pretty high standards about flying them.

Both hubby and I tend to get pretty irritated with people that fly the flag, but just don't seem to care about the respect of the flag
(such as fading, tears and without the proper lighting).

All the time. The polyester flags certainly last longer. nm - Veteran\'s wife

"No Fair Wage For American Workers." Most American JobsDec 12, 2012
the people who hold them are getting wage cuts instead of increases. We're ALL in trouble. From the Washington Post: "The stagnation of wages has become an accepted fact across the political spectrum; conservative columnists such as Michael Gerson and David Brooks have acknowledged that workers’ incomes seem to be stuck." "Defenders of right-to-work laws argue that they improve a state’s economy by creating more jobs. But an exhaustive study by economist Lo ...
