We honor what the flag stands for. The MAGAts have no clue.

Their answer is that they put out the flags for the "patriotic holidays."

I don't buy it but it gives me the opportunity to be the only office on Main Street flying a flag. The folks walking in the "Marade" always note the flag.

I fly one during the warmer months off of my deck. I have had people, who know how left I can get sometimes, ask me about why I have it since I complain so much about the government. I remind them that I complained about the bad administrations and I complain about the corruption that has led to a lot of imbalance in the government as a whole. I have never spoken ill of this nation as an ideal. I have spoken plenty about how it has been implemented and practiced recently.

Then, I inform them that I was a Cub Scout, then a Webelos, and then a Boy Scout. I stopped at thirteen, then joined the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Corps at fifteen. I was in that until I hit eighteen, and then was going to go into the Reserves, but we had a difference of opinion as to where I should be entering given my previous service. So, I went on to other things. But, I will NOT forget my service, I will NOT forget others who gave all, and I will NOT dishonor the flag by hiding it just because a corrupt weenie and his cronies lied their way into the Oval Office. It has happened before and it will probably happen again. That banner has been around a lot longer than the orange gibbon has, however. He is but a drop in the bucket of what is our history. The object now is to remember what you said.

It has nothing to do with that orange gibbon. It's my flag. I will fly it proudly.

I retired from the Army after 28 years. It's my flag!

keep what is ours.

This is indeed a beautiful country and its promises are well worth keeping alive. I salute your service, and the service of every man and woman who have defended our nation and its ideals, in whatever capacity they could. MLK is most heroic and well worth honoring. So is Jimmy Carter, so perhaps if the pole is long enough, fly it at half-staff awhile.

Thanks.
