and many people will be flying the American flag. My husband served 31 years in the US Army. There is a large American flag flying from my front porch today. As long as we have soldiers serving anywhere in the world, that flag will fly. It stays up 24 hours with a light on it at night. God Bless America and all who bravely serve her!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY - REMEMBER FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE - Many have given their all to ensure our Freedom & I am PROUD to be an American.

We also fly our flag 24 hours a day. DH is a Navy man and we are very patriotic. He is big on respect for the flag and has even knocked on a neighbors door (while wearing his uniform) to ask them if they were in distress since their flag was backwards and flying under our local baseball team's flag! He knew the lady, but it was pretty funny. She fixed it right away since she didn't know that rule.
