Post by: Rastus on May 28, 2011, 10:30:21 AM: Whilst growing up my dad always had the flag up for Memorial Day and Memorial Day Weekend. That display also included 4th of July & Veteran's day. Is your flag out?

Post by: bjtraz on May 28, 2011, 07:59:21 PM: No. (sigh!) As I hang my head in shame, I confess the bracket is broken, and have not replaced/repaired it. I fly my flag year round, 24/7, I've even installed an automatic light to illuminate it. But the weather has been nuts around here and it didn't survive one of the recent storms.

Post by: Solus on May 28, 2011, 08:53:35 PM: I was married to a woman who had a little girl. The little one was 1.5 yrs when we got married and we were married 3 years.

Each day, as soon as she was able to walk, she helped me put up and take down our flag.

She started Montessori school at 3 or so and each day of school the kids took turns with a pair of them raising and lowering the classroom flag.

The teachers commented that little Lauren insisted on helping what ever pair was on flag duty each day, making it a 3 person team.

Had to be proud of that little one.

She married a Marine.

Post by: twyacht on May 29, 2011, 06:09:51 AM: Put one out everyday, bring it in at night/ or foul weather.

Seems it has gotten contagious, as more flags are up on non-holidays in my neighborhood.

and there are NO Obama/Biden stickers around either,.....

Post by: crusader rabbit on May 30, 2011, 10:46:22 PM: Well, I DID vote Yes, but the truth is I am at my Dad's home in Mesa, AZ, and I put his flag out this morning at sunrise. Back at my place I think my bride, Bunny, probably had our flag flying, too. Spent the day with retired USN Captain brother-in-law and my sis and they had the flag flying too. Nearly every home on his street was showing colors. On Dad's street, it was down to maybe 25%.
