Days To Fly The United States Flag

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Los Angeles-Brentwood

 

Good morning world!

Just recently the United States celebrated Independence Day.  Throughout the United States, there were many celebrations.  In Los Angeles, the beaches were packed with regulars and out-of-town guest.  The freeways were packed with motorist traveling to their favorite vacation destinations.  I enjoy staying close to my neighborhood.  During the late evening hours, I saw spectacular fireworks with family and friends.  July 4th is the official start for summer.

 

Many people show their patriotic love for this country by flying the United States American flag.  Some fly the miniature flags between the windows of their cars or on thier motocycles.  Many hang their flags on a post in front of their homes. After the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, many Americans throughout the world flew the United States flag in front of their home to symbolize unity and love for our country.  I decided to post the days for when you can fly our flag.  May God continue to bless our country!

Thank you for responding.  Flying the flag is an important part of our heritage.  It's a sign of respect.  Good for you for flying the flag on special occasions.  It feels good living in the United States.  Although I've travelled to many countries, there is no place like the U.S.  Have a fantastic and prosperous weekend.
