Today is my wedding anniversary, and I am afraid I am quite the mess! Oh well!
I suppose getting away from the house is good, but when I see flags that are not being flown at half staff, I get angry!
Happy anniversary, sea.
Welcome to FR as a poster! Your screen name mirrors President Reagan's love for this country. Flying his body cross country "from sea to shining sea" is symbolic too imo.
Welcome to FR and Happy Anniversary! Glad you stopped lurking and joined up.
Do what I've been doing, remind them when a former President dies, its is customary to fly the flag at half staff, and maybe since they were busy, they didn't reaize it wasn't. Be very polite, try not to inject politics. Some people need a gentle hint, or maybe they truly didn't think about it.
I drove my hubby crazy yesterday, calling places who didn't have their flags at half mast, or stopping by and asking them to lower it, for respect to our former President.
Of course, he's a bigger Reagan fan than I am, so I think he was glad. Everyone was nice, and took care of it pronto. Well, there's 2 places I have to check on the way home.
By Friday, all the flags in my immediate 20 miles area WILL have their flags at half mast, or a black ribbon on any flag that cannot be lowered.
My husband got to lower the flag with our 2 oldest sons at the Sheriff's dept here. He said he never felt so honored to do anything before. And to have our 8 and 4 yr old with him, saluting.
I love my hubby.
Oh, and welcome to FR. Sorry for the ramble.
