I am not sure when the Flag of the United States stopped being the sacred symbol of our freedom and became something to burn in protest, or wear as clothing, a bandana or scarf.  What I am sure is that we as Americans all lost something when it became those things!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

and to the republic for which it stands,

one nation under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you again for all those who have sacrifice so much so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we enjoy!

Tony, I proudly fly the American flag out in front of my office.

I think it was during the Vietnam War and "the whole world has gone wrong" movement and protests in the '60s and '70s.

Joshua, Cool!

Eric, I think that you're right.

I’m all for being patriotic since my dad was a Marine, but elevating the flat to idol status, something to be worshipped, is wrong. It’s just a flag! It's more important to actually participate in society as a helpful citizen than it is to worship a symbol.

Jim, I disagree, for me it is the symbol of all that America stands for.  I just think that it is wrong to bring it down to where it has been brought to.  I believe that it should be something to look up to, when I said sacred, I meant something that is respected, not adored nor worshiped, but certainly and ideal that if lived up to should help make us better people and citizens.

I have no problem with clothing that is red, white and starry similar to the flag - so long as it doesn't look like a flag was used to make the item.

If you didn't fly a flag on Flag Day, consider it a reminder to get ready to do so on July 4.

 

 

Remember how many flags were displayed right after 9/11?

Jim, I agree with the clothing, I have no problem wearing the colors, just so that they're not the flag nor look like the flag.  It is a great reminder to fly the flag!  I do remember it was quite a sight!
