Not to many at Private Residences but lots from Towns and Memorial Gardens and mine is up flying Proud inspite of all the wind we have been having.

Mine flies every day!

Right On!!!!
Although there are more out and about in my "hood". They come out for Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Veterans Day....
I always fly the Stars & Stripes Proudly!!!

Same here.
The Town flies several flags year round and has one on every downtown streetlight pole during summer months.
Very few if any on multi family houses, but single family houses it's about one in 4.
-
A reminder that on Memorial Day, the flag should be flown at half staff until noon....

Mine too! I have retired two flags since I bought the house 5 years ago, one thing I never have a hard time convincing the wife to spend money on.
-
The Village I work in put up about 50 of them. I need to retire the old one she is getting a little ragged.

Thanks for the reminder, will do!

I have 2 flying - US and USMC (for my son).
I'm guessing the ex-Navy guy a few doors over will throw up a Navy something or other once he sees the USMC flag flying. Yeah, he is that "keep up with the Joneses". Put in a flag pole after the neighbor to the south put one in.
I don't have a pole, so they fly from wooden staffs stuck into the rail holes in the back of the pickup, US flag to the right as you look down the drive to the street.

I counted about 25 out of the 200 homes in my little piece of America...not a great showing considering at 55 I'm one of the "hot young studs" of the neighborhood! I expect I'll see more tomorrow...
-
Ours is up every day. Seems to be a few more than usual in the neighborhoods. God bless our troops.
-
Went to pull my flag down to half-staff last night and some @#@#$% had stole it! >:(
The next one is going up with some "precautions" when I finish this long-short week.
-
My flag is displayed every day along with the USMC flag (son is a Marine). A light shines on old glory every night and a new one gets purchased every time she gets faded or torn. I didn't see alot of flags displayed in my neighborhood which is sad :'( but in some others I saw a fair number :).
My parents always took us as kids to the memorial day parade then to the cemetary (my dad's brother was killed in Saipan and received the Silver Star posthumously). If I'm not working I attend memorial day as well as Vets day ceremonies most yrs. and pay my respect to all those that gave all for us.
-
We have a flag out on our front porch column every day. For the weekend we put 8 little ones in a circle around our front tree.
Also got that fancy mailbox reflector scheme.
Still working on lighting though.
-
I fly mine as often as possible. Unfortunately with the wind we have mine doesn't see much of winter. But I just feel bad subjecting old glory to 70 mph winds.

Flag etiquette allows for inclement weather! You don't have to fly it every day or at night unless the flag is illuminated. I have an Navy acquaintance in KS, she gets up every day at dawn and raises her flag and lowers it at dusk, religiously! She works at home...
