A 5' x 8' American flag flies in front of my home every day of the year. It has been lit for flying day and night. A replacement flag (made in America) is on the hall table for replacement when an edge starts to fray. A neighbor has the duty to check that the flag is flying properly when we are not home (9 months a year now) It is lowered properly for all national holidays and appropriate occasions.
My flag is a symbol of my appreciation for my country and its ideals. I may not always agree with those in political power, but I do believe in our constitution.
