I also have an American flag. It's not "the" American flag. It's my American flag. It's my property. I bought it 2 years ago.
If it was "our" American flag, I guess the money I paid for it was only rent. Hmmm...but they never asked me to sign a rental agreement.
Once when I was carrying it, one corner touched my driveway. I've heard it's a very bad thing to let "the" American flag touch the "ground". But I say my driveway is not the "ground". It's a masonry slab set on top of the ground.
My wife washes my flag in the washing machine when needed. Am I guilty of an act of war?
You are guilty having a very disrespectful attitude.
