I don't see the point or really don't think that it is relevant.  I am a God hating, commie-socialist and either was or currently am an Obama supporting damn fool idiot.

I am a foreign national who is living in the country illegally and my allegiance is to my own people.  I'm just here for what I can get for me and mine.  Your sacrifice is your sacrifice, I don't give a damn.

No, but I wish I did.  I am sick or have no finances, I am a patriotic American who has been ignored by his own in prefence to foreigners and weirdos in the name of political correctness, greed, political power mongers and being progressive.

No, but I wish I did.  I have no finances and blame my problems on others.  I am a fat slothful pig blaming my situation on others.  Don't make me grow up to be an adult I might be a hippie.

No, but I wish I did.  I am broke or too busy you know.  As soon as I can fulfill my selfish desires I'm going to get a flag and put it up.  Really, I am.  Now put me back on my pedestal.

No.  Get off my back man.

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?

They toward up my front yard to replace the water pipes and with it they tore out my flag pole.   

I'll have it up by 7/4.

No, I don't have my Flag out for Memorial day, I have my Flag out, the date is irrelevant.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

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.

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.
