Fly your flags today. Be Proud to be an American.

Remember THIS is OUR country. We have worked hard in this country to make it what it is. We are doing it right.

Fly your flags proudly. Show your pride.


Dont let whats going on in the world today stop you from showing your love for America and flying the flag.

I know its hard, I have a hard time going outside with my red USA shirt i got from Walmart 4 years ago because I feel like im a trump supporter but we have to show this is our country.. we are flying the flag.

where I was born. Not a big fan of overt nationalism....I think our place in the world is to be humble and helpful.

His father came to America first to earn money to bring the family over. My fil was 3 yrs old when the family emigrated to America.

He enlisted at the age of 19. The Army had given him the choice to serve in Asia instead of the European front because of his German birthplace. He chose Europe. He saw action in the Battle of the Bulge and suffered frostbite the rest of his life.

Normally fly on Veterans Day as well.

But will have to think about it if Trump has Tiki Torch parade.

I plan to emulate that brand of graduate-level apathy today by staying home and doing laundry.

I will show my patriotism this November by going to the polls. And all of those 'both parties are the same' fucknozzles can kiss my ass while I do it.
