Tattered Flag
American Flag TatteredCanvas, originally uploaded by SensorPhoto.

(This flag was found flying proudly in Sedalia, Colorado - it's since been retired.)

I know some of you object to flags that should have been "retired", but personally, I can't fault anyone who proudly displays our beautiful flag, even in this tattered condition.

When I look at this torn symbol, I see pride and love of country. Of course, it's time for it to be replaced by a new one, but who of us can say in these difficult economic times when another person can or cannot afford that.

I would much rather see this ragged flag instead of a bare flag pole.

I hope you all take time to remember and show your appreciation to those in the armed forces who risk their lives in the service of our country, preserving freedom.

Mike, I have a friend who is dubbed "the Flagman". He sells all things flags, is a vexillologist, helps Native Americans develop flags, donates the money on those flags back to the tribes, helps towns develop flags, goes around offering to clean flags that are flying dirty, helps people to replace tattered flags, etc. I have had quite an education over the years on flags. :D

Thanks Michael - it's good to hear from you.

Andrea - I think I would like the "Flagman".  I've always had a certain fascination with flags, but of course especially our own American flag.  To me, there are few things more majestic than a large American Flag floating gracefully on the breeze.
