WE WERE SHOCKED WHEN OUR NEIGHBOR ASKED US WHY WE FLY THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES

US FLAG ORG - ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FOLD OUR FLAG


We don't have a flagpole but we do fly a small American Flag by our front door most every day.  We bring it in when it's pouring down rain or the winds are brisk enough to bring down palm tree fronds.

One day a friend of ours blurted out , "WHY DO YOU FLY THE FLAG?"

We said, "Because we love our country!"

We were shocked that our friend didn't understand this intuitively.  All he said was, "You do?"

It wasn't a challenge to our patriotism.

Truth be known, we're not blind to the fact that our country has problems.  Rape in the military has had us very upset.  We think that's terrible.  Still, we're glad that our country endures and has processes for discussing and working out issues and that our country is flexible enough to change, so long as it never changes into another country, or a country that no longer could be called the United States.

Remember to only buy flags that are MADE IN THE USA!
