We've expressed our outrage at the disrespect shown around the world and at home, immortalized the moment it was raised in Iwo Jima, stood at attention as casket after casket arrived at Dover for the next leg of their journey covered with our flag.

June 14 -- HAPPY FLAG DAY to our Old Glory!!!

This symbol and these colors remind us of the FREEDOM our brave soldiers fought for in the past and still fight for today.

“Our Flag does not fly because the wind moves it; it flies with the last breath of every Soldier who died defending it." <>

Gathering and disposal of old flags was part of one of my son's Eagle Project. The young man did an awesome job on this his final project. Thanks for the post Maj Kim Patterson

Absolutely. Here at Fort Benning, GA, the home of the Infantry, every home has a flag in front of it. It reminds me of Mayberry, and I would not have it any other way.

MAJ Rene De La Rosa what an impressive sight that would be. Unfortunately, even here in a military/veteran heavy community, the flags don't fly or fly in the rain or in the dark. My flag is out and the sun is up. It will be lowered and stored over night because there is a slight chance of rain and I do not have light bulbs that never go out so each morning, it is displayed with respect and each evening retired at dusk.

24/7-365 with my USAF flag. Both will be replaced when the time comes and the new ones will fly 24/7. I dare someone to tell me to take them down or try to remove them...Salute 07
