Flags up!

Posted on 03/18/2003 6:37:28 AM PST by ErnBatavia

...Just a reminder that it's time to get those American flags all ready for hoisting.

Since our area is properly illuminated, mine went up within 10 minutes of last night's Presidential Address....it's up for the duration.

I thought about that, too. Mine's going up as soon as the deadline ends and/or the fighting begins, whichever comes first.

Flags UP?

Mine hasn't come down in a long time, except when it's raining. :)

Thanks for the post!

". . . up for the duration."

So...you should be able to lower "Old Glory" by this Saturday - if you want to, right?

Mine has been up since 9/12/01.

But I was thinking last night I need a new one for the car. And my co-worker and I put ours up in the office.

Got the flag up AND made a poster for the window that says "Support Our Troops!".

I figure sometimes you have to tell people what they are supposed to do.

Ours has been up since a few days after 9/11. She shall continue to fly in front of our house for as long as we are here.

"Mine has been up since 9/12/01."

Same here. I've also displayed "Bush/Cheney" and "Veterans for Bush" campaign posters in my front window since shortly after that.

I'd like to get a poster that says "We Support Our Troops"...

God's blessing on them all...

I was thinking about doing that. Actually I put the flag out on holidays only. I like the idea of a big poster, maybe on the garage door...
