I suppose this is an indictment on the sad state of Public education in America.

Pretty funny though!

Very sad.

I was just thinking about this today, I wonder how many people know what July 4th actually stands for other than celebrating and blowing stuff up

The same goes for most holidays. Christmas = presents. Memorial day = Cookout.

Many people continue to confuse Memorial and Veterans Day(s).

Do you proudly display your American and POW/MIA flags on significant holidays?

Sadly so few do. Been guilty myself.

Always...the whole front law is outlined in flags and a banner on the courtyard gate.

I live in a condo and the HOA does not allow that.

The flags over the years were provided by realtors.(not mini ones) Our HOA is fine with it----for the holiday......like Christmas lights.....we're allowed.

The problem with allowing only certain flags on certain days is someone will always try to push the envelope.

I find it odd that you allow that but would prefer not to allow minorities, other than those who perform maintenance, on the property.

Civil Rights or just freedom to do whatever as an American. Lets not step on anyones toes
