I fly my flag 24/7 but tomorrow will be special. I spent 3 years in the Army and it was a very positive experience. Only action I saw was two or three barroom brawls but I was there if needed.

Everyday should be Flag day!! This is America! We are at war and thousands are dying so we have the privilege to press 1 for English.

Here is my garage, home to a 97 Cobra and 03 MM. I was under the understanding that if the flag is to be flown during the hours of darkness, its supposed to be illuminated. Either way, :beer: for you guys!

Yes, it is. I don't fly mine in the rain, even though I do have an all-weather flag and technically that's OK.

Also, people around here have been getting flags stolen so I also don't fly it when I'm not home or at night, even though I do have a light right next to mine.

I'd love to have the flag up more often but you just can't trust people anymore.

Anyone who would steal another person's flag should be shot.

This is about the sorriest and saddest thing that I have heard lately. Stealing flags ....... :mad:

Of course, the $1.6 Billion in fraud payments to Katrina victims for sex changes :eek: , bogus addresses, and divorce payments kinda tops my list today too !!! :mad2: Nearly 20% of all payments were fraudulent claims. :shake: :down:

Me too.

Some SOB stole mine from the pine tree it resided on a few years back.
To steal the new one they better have a bucket truck...
