Those displays are always awesome. Hopefully we see a lot of cool displays and tributes with the 20th anniversary of the September attacks coming up in a few months.

We always fly a flag. My birth day is 4th of July. I’m American pride to the bone. But the flag flying is a thing we respect in my house. That’s beat in to my and my kids heads. The national anthem is something the choke up for.

Very cool. I enjoy seeing all of the flags this time of year. The local boy scouts line main street in my town for several holidays and I love seeing that! 🇺🇸

Take pictures. With the direction the country is taking it won’t be long before public displays of the flag will be against the law.

I agree. The ironic thing is it usually centers on people bitching about other people bitching.

I wasn’t complaining or bitching. I was stating MY OPINION on the direction the country was moving towards.

My belief is before to long some group will go after the flag. Thats all, I think my Avatar says it all as my thoughts of the flag.

They already are. Some stupid ass singer is trying to change the flag. Dont know why just because they are a celebrity they think their thoughts really are more important compared to everyone elses.

Fort Snelling National Cemetery on Memorial Day morning. I think it’s the first year all ~180,000 graves had a flag.

And I thought Wheaton’s Field of Honor was impressive. 180,000 flags. Can you believe it? Really magnificent.
