Fly the flag on 9-11
#14

Flying the flag. If one can fly our flag in the PROPER way I am all for it. I can and do it

on certain occasions. But not daily. No streetlights out here at night so it must come in at night. Yet I feel I am patriotic. As far as those that "more or less" attach a flag to their vehicles, leave it on till it is in tatters or falls off, still on the vehicle night and day,

rain or sun without any thought. This is not right. Too many times I damn near got ran over in picking up a battered flag that came off a vehicle and was in the road. One other gripe I have is people putting stick on flags in their bumpers or windows of other

countries. Cant help but wonder why they do it. Arent they Americans and proud of it?

I do not fly a flag on my vehicle and will not do so. Instead of a flag on my vehicle I have my 3rd Infantry patch decal inside my rear window, and display my special liscense plates which NJ gives me free showing I am a combat Infantry vet (with a pic of the CIB, combat vet, and letters C..I for combat Infantry. ) Naturally to get these plates one must include positive proof of the award to the MV Dept. See pic. Many of us are patriotic but in our own damn ways. So dont try to change me. Sorry guys and gals but thats "MY WAY". Myself, my older brother and my deceased Dad were all combat vets of WW 2 and do things OUR OWN WAYS when it comes to being patriotic..

It aint what a person SHOWS, it is what a person has in ones heart. Nuff said.
