American flags after 9/11

[lexsooner]

So who still has them on their cars and outside their houses? I have made a point to have one on my car even though I have changed a couple of cars since 2001. I had a flag at my old house, but did not put one up after I moved last year, although I put out some small ones after a neighbor's grandson was killed in action this summer. I make no excuses for that absence, though. Just lazy.

We have had a flag displayed on both houses we have been in continuosly since 9/11......occasionally before that. We always have either a flag magnet or sticker on our cars.

We had a "Moment of Silence" at work today.

We've been doing it since we lost the planes.

Most folks seem to have been able to keep discussions about it all headed in a positive direction. The healing process has been a long one.

I've flown the flag well before 9/11/01 and still have one flying.

We had one growing up and the day I bought my house, which is my first one, the first thing I bought was an American flag for it. The only time it comes down is for hurricanes.

The first one I had for the house did not fly until a few months after 9/11. I ordered a nice one from a flag co. and they were really backed up. Remember how people would steal the flags of neighbors just to have their own patriotic symbol? The best I could do for the first few months was a laminated picture of a flag behind the glass door. I gave one to the Iranian guy across the street and he happily accepted and displayed it. Figured it might help keep him from being harassed.

we fly ours pretty much all the time.

I have a small American flag at my desk that I've had displayed since this week, 7 years ago.

I bought a flag and put it up on our back porch when we lived in an apartment. Moved into a house four years ago and the side of the garage is adorned with the same flag.

Yeah, but do you guys wear flag lapel pins? :)

you better mean since 9/11 after your birth, otherwise you may as well wear a lapel pin.

My neighbor gets far more respect from me than the "Since 9/11" crowd. He's without fail flown his flag since he moved in, back in the late 90s.

I don't have a flag, but I do proudly display my Retired US Army sticker. And to think that a "liberal" would actually serve our country. "There is no "red" America or "blue" America, there is the United States of America". And we all bleed red. God bless the souls lost 7 years ago and the 4,000 we've lost since.

Thank you for your service.

I have both the U.S. flag and the Holy Bible on my desk at work.

We have the American flag flying from our home. We usually take it down if it's raining, otherwise it stay s up.

I find it disappointing I see fewer and fewer cars with flags today, compared with soon after 9/11. An event of that magnitude should never be forgotten.
