I fly the flag everyday on the front of my house for all to see. I am proud of our Military members and Veterans. I am proud to be an American and not ashamed to show it.

I am proud of my country and it's flag. I realize that the U.S. is, and never has been "Perfect," but no country is. That being said, I still think it is better than all the rest. I'll fly the flag.

I live in an apartment and usually put some kind of red-white-and-blue something on my door to honor the holidays.

It shows I understand the reasons behind the holiday and that I appreciate those who sacrificed for our country. Most holidays origins have to do with sacrifice or patriotism.

Our local LIONS Club brings the Flag on all NATIONAL holidays for just $25 dollars a year. So Thankful for this service!

My father was a WWII Veteran, my son was in the Marine Corps, my brother and my husband were both Vietnam Vets. Yes, I fly my flag to honor them and all Veterans.

I dont have anything against flying it but I'm in a an apartment and it's never been something I put thought into. Most of the time I dont even notice holidays until I try to order food.

I don't have a flag or a proper way to fly one. If I did I'd fly it every day, not just holidays.

I'm more afraid of nationalism than I am of anything. I'm very proud of our country, but lately we've been unduly aggressive.

If you have a flag it should be flown all the time not just on holidays. But I don't have a flag.

We would but if you don't have an appropriate way to fly the flag you shouldn't try to hang it any old kind of way. Proper flag etiquette is important.
