[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is retired from military service, deployed a number of times (in fact, was deployed when our first child was born), was on active duty at the Pentagon on 9/11. We fly a US flag every day as do many of our neighbors.
Hope we're not weirding anyone out.[/quote]

What does flying a flag mean to you? Thanks.[/quote]

I was getting ready to answer this but truly cannot say it any better than this previous poster did:

[quote]I fly my flag every day, because it memorializes the members of my family who served. It is a statement of pride in their service. It is also a statement of pride in b[e]ing American. It is our flag, not, as in [s]o many countries, the state flag. It represents the hopes and dreams of my immigrant ancestors who came here from Europe and found [a] better life. Like the Statue of Liberty, it is [a] beacon for those seeking the freedoms they cannot find in their home lands. They are welcome here.

This is so well said and I share your feelings about our flag. Thank you to this poster for your words, but more importantly, for your and your family's service.
