I fly a series of Revolutionary War flags for a few days each leading up to Independence Day, on which I fly the Betsy Ross ‘76 flag.

I have to admit, for a few months earlier in the year, I did not fly Old Glory because I felt our country was simply... Gone, and what it truly represented was no longer here.

But then I went on a family campout with my son’s Boy Scout troop, watched their flag ceremony and I decided I should continue to fly her, and all of the Revolutionary era flags as well. Who knows, it might actually prompt someone to think about the Founding again, what it all meant, and what those amazing people created for us.
