Unfurl your flag and fly it with pride

TO THE EDITOR:

No one has to be told we are at war. I realize many of us still fly our flags, but too many have been folded away recently. I want to encourage everyone to unfurl his or her flag and fly it proudly during the most trying times for our nation.

There is nothing quite as warming as that pride we get when we are a nation showing solidarity in times of crisis. I know I feel better every time I see an American flag. I don’t take them for granted and I think they look good on everything and everywhere.

I know it will do the families who sacrifice the most a great service to see their communities fully understanding and respecting their burdens. Let us not forget the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation represented by our flag.

Please support our troops and our majestic nation by triumphantly displaying an American flag and encouraging others to do the same. If you don’t have a flag, I will be glad to assist you in obtaining one.
