Did You Fly Your Colors Today?  email this discussion to a friend?

Today is Flag Day in the United States.

As a rule I put my flag up the weekend before Memorial Day and leave it up through July 4. I have Tiki lights to ensure that it doesn’t fly in the dark.

It’s a beautiful flag, and many lives were given to keep the United States free. I think we should proudly display it on every national holiday, but that’s one man’s opinion.

Did you display your flag today?

Unfortuntly I dont have a flag right now, I just moved and got my own apartment and dont have the money. Im glad you have lights though so you can fly it at night. To many people dont know about that rule and fly it all the time. I was wondering though, why dont you fly your flag all year around? Thats what my parents do, take it in at night put it out in the morning all year long.

I fly it on all holiday, and as indicated above.

I don't fly it all year long, every day, because it requires a ladder to put it up and take it down ... and also flying it every day tends to make it (for me) less special. You get so accustomed to it that it loses the impact.

Oh ok its high up, my parents had the mounting on the side of the house by the front door, didnt have to climb to get to it, that would be a very good reason to not put it up all the time lol.



Pagan and Proud, blessed be
