A good friend stopped by a few of them, happy that he'd finally found a flag, they all read either "Made in Korea", or "Made in China"....he's still looking.

Check out Aunt Polgara's suggestion as to how to get a flag.
It is a lovely story, and I'm glad Jimmy's flag is flying proudly again. I'm sure Jimmy is proud.
I've been looking for a flag for three weeks, too. We started to order one online on the Thurs. after the attacks, but I thought, nah, I can find one locally. NO WAY! I finally decided to go ahead and get one online this past Monday. I went to libertyflags.com and went throught the whole order procedure, but got a message at the end that they could not fill the order and I should come back in a couple of weeks to re-order. I was mildly perturbed, but decided no problem, I'll do that. To my great surprise, later that evening, I received an e-mail saying my flag would be shipped the next day! I'm so excited. I hope it comes in by Friday so we can hang it up over the weekend!
I'll be thinking about CHIEF Negotiator, BCM, and all those who died in the attacks as we put it up.
"I pledge allegiance...."
Thanks for stopping by.

There's an old, tattered flag waving in the breeze out front; under a clear, true blue dream of an American sky, Jimmy's flag is waving for the country once again; and though its edges are ragged, the colors are strong, and vibrant, just as they were when it waved, framed by a Virginia sky, and waited for a sailor to come home. Old Jimmy would have wanted it this way, Lydia told me.
I raise the colors every morning; then I do a small salute and speak to ears that I know are listening near by.
Best that I can figure, it left some years ago, inside one of the hundred or so boxes that left with my ex-wife.
I should have replaced it long ago.
Whew - what a moving story!
God bless Lydia and Jimmy for their giving spirit and for Jimmy's service to America.
God bless you and your family and all who have come to America to build our country and make it stronger! How much we needed you in the November election - now, as I remember first meeting you during the Elian saga - can't we see - God's hand at work - even in the horrible treatment of our beloved little Elian? By taking Elian and sending him back to Castro's hell - the Clintonistas ensured Florida's Cuban American / Latin American community would ELECT PRESIDENT BUSH!!!! bringing into office the President that our country would need at just this terrible time!
Thank you for these wonderful essays - each one improves over the last one.
(Re: flag search - another good place to look is local school supply companies - they will reserve one for people and they have made in America excellent quality flags)
