Flag Day


Whether it is historical fact or instructive fable the tale of Betsy Ross and the first American flag is a gem in the repertoire of stories of a new-born nation.;

Old Glory!  Long may she wave.

By the way, in this era of sensitivity and warped thinking, here is a message for those who may be "offended" by the display or parading of the American flag.  "Go away.  Go far, far away."

I would add to your final comment in the post, "You don't need to come back." I hope that isn't too mean spirited.

Agree! Out, out and don't come back.

Chuck, not at all mean spirited. If they don't like it here they might be happier elsewhere. Or not.

Vee, so far it seems to be unanimous.

It frustrates me to no end when others come to this country and try to make it their own...where they just left. I just have no tolerance for the lack of respect for this land...and its flag.
