Right after 9/11, most all homes, businesses, and vehicles had a US flag displayed.....where are they now? Is everyone waiting for us to be attacked again to display your flag again? Flying the flag doesn't show support for one political party or the other, nor does it show support for one policy or another....it shows your support for this country, period. It's not about oil, foreign policy, or how much tax you pay. I survived Hurricane Katrina...know what the first thing I did when the winds subsided??? Fly our flag!
Shame on us!
If people are that disgusted with the country...vote, run for office, or get out!
Secure our borders!
I still have my flag and I still PROUDLY display my flag!
Proud Veteran!

I never displayed the American flag.
Then again, I'm not American and I've never been there.
I'd say it's because the hijackers made the first direct attack against your country since Pearl Harbour. Also it was a pretty horrific attack. Consequently, people were offended, they rushed to support their country, but now that's a few years ago it's petered out a bit. Also they might be ashamed of your recent actions overseas.

It's great that you're a veteran, and I understand you patriotism, but flying a flag does NOTHING to prevent any of these problems you discuss. How about voting? How about protesting corrupt leaders? That can accomplish something.
Flying a flag is great but if you think it will help this country, you are misguided.

I still fly my flag too! My grandfather fought in WW II, my father and most of his brothers fought in Vietnam. One was a POW. My cousin saved a Navy ship in the Persian Gulf War. My boyfriend was in the Air Force until he was injured. He too is a veteran. I am proud to know and love them all. I am a proud American and will continue to fly my flag also. God bless you!

My parents still have theirs up at their home. They had it long before 9/11 too.

I have three flags hanging at my home, and three at my camp.
