That looks like a big flag for that short pole.

I assume the flag is an exact replica of the original Star Spangled Banner, which was deliberately made large enough "for the British to clearly see it" at a distance.

If the government let you keep more of the money you earned, I bet you could pay more bills. ;-)

Afternoon, folks. Not to take away anything from the Marines, but I've always thought it was unfair they could have their own air force, but the Army can't.

Afternoon CT.

I think the Marines learned early on that the best air support for a Marine groundpounder is another Marine in an airplane. :-)
