You are most welcome. A flag flies outside my house 24-7, lit at night. For me it's a sacred reminder of all the sacrifices of brave men and women before me. And I will defend it's right to fly with my life, if necessary.

I have countless POW/MIA flags that were flown outside my home until I had to take them down.I know it sounds crazy,but I sometimes think it should be flown above the American flag,because if it weren't for them,the American flag wouldn't be there.I would never do such a thing,but it makes sense in a way.I had a dumbass show up at my door,wondering why I was flying a pirate flag!At first I was speechless,but once I got over my initial shock,what I told him can not be posted,but he was gone in very short order.He was well dressed and drove a new vehicle.When he left,he was very aware it was not a pirate flag!

Apropo to your response...

I was born an American. I live as an American; I shall die an American; and I intend to perform the duties incumbent upon me in that character to the end of my career. I mean to do this with absolute disregard to personal consequences. What are the personal consequences?

What is the individual man with all the good or evil that may betide him, in comparison with the good and evil which may befall a great country, and in the midst of great transactions which concern that country's fate? Let the consequences be what they will, I am careless, No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall, in the defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country.
