Old Glory Proudly Flying in Blossom Valley San Jose

Hello Kathy.  It does not take much to spot pride of ownership.  Ole Glory proudly flying never hurts.  Don't forget to comment in this months challenge with a link to this post.  Mark  https://activerain.com/blogsview/5734505/-ole-glory-coast-to-coast----june-active-rain-challenge

Hi Kathleen- I love the trimmed tree or whatever it is to the right of the house. And I do remember saying the Pledge of Allegiance every morning before school began. We do fly our flags proudly here in Texas... on our short street, there are 4 houses that fly Ole Glory every day. 

Hi, Kathleen.

I didn't know about "Old Glory" and the meaning of the words until now. Thank you for this post and the helpful information.

I didn’t know about the whole history you were alluding to but that is quite the nice elegant looking flag! :

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist  what a fantastic post and sadly I agree with you, when I came to CA 27+ years ago there were Flags flying on the appropriate days.. over the years the flags became fewer and fewer.... now in my Middle Class Patriotic neighborhood I am lucky to find 15 flags in  a four block radius... Endre

What a wonderful photo. Those neighbors know how to do it!

That is a beautiful home, Kathleen... and you can totally see the pride of ownership. I, too, grew up saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school every morning until I graduated from high school  (and that was after 30 minutes of chapel and prayers). Those values of patriotism and prayer were instilled in us early on and have remained throughout my life and that of my classmates.

Good morning Kathleen. Living in downtown Chicago in a hires, the number ion flags I see can be counted on my left or right hand with spare fingers. Sad, since when living in Florida we saw flags all the time. Enjoy your day.

Ole Glory looks good flying in front of that nice home but what also catches my eye is how that bush is trimmed.

Hi Kathleen,
I, too, grew up saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school. It is so sad to see the loss of patriotism in this country.  I do love seeing the flag proudly displayed.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist - this photograph of this home in San Jose is absolutely beautiful and so are your words. The sculptured shrubs are a work of art as is the attention to details. There is pride of ownership speaking volumes. The owners are clearly patriotic and appreciative for their American Dream home. This is a great entry for the challenge. I like it very much. 

I enjoyed reading your June Challenge post.

I did not remember the year that the pledge was changed

I have seen old glory still flying after 200 plus mph typhoons whipped us all in Guam Kathleen. It was a glorious sight 🙂
