One of the many things I look forward to when I return from overseas, is being able to fly the U.S. flag in front of my house. Today, 14 June, is Flag Day. On this day, back in 1777, congress created/approved our first American Flag.

Nothing like seeing Old Glory flying proud. The US flag was the first item we placed up in our RallyPoint HQ.

I fly the flag every day! I even put a solar-charged light on the flag for nighttime display.

Related story: when I was stationed in South Carolina years ago, the school that my kids attended had a policy against reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The entire time we lived in SC, we always brought the flag out in the morning and recited the pledge before school.

I sure am flying the Flag of the United States on My home and here it is. Just to the right of the window on the right also is a light that shines on that flag. This flag is brand new and I used it just before Memorial day to replace the older flag that had done its service. The Old flag was brought to the American Legion Post of which I'm a member after it was Tri Folded here so it can be disposed of properly with honors in a ceremony at the post.

I have no desire to maintain a flag at home.
