One was my father's and one my father-in-law's. Both served in WWII. The other is from my uncle who was killed in Vietnam. All three of those flags draped the coffins of our loved ones and flying them today seems a little like desecration to us. The only way I could fly them with any sort of real conviction today would be if we flew them upside down. As for you flag-flying patriots, I'm glad you have the urge to fly yours and that's cool. Just can't do it here. Not now. I pray the day will come soon when we feel proud to fly them again.
