I know how patriotic you guys are out there:-) I feel emotional when I see our little flag being waved at sporting events but some think its like the swastika and there was trouble at one event as athletes were made to cover it up !:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, there is a controversial dispute going on even now because a disrespectful athlete chose to kneel when the flag was displayed and the national anthem was played. Nike endorsed his action and made billions in sales.

Great response, Bob! I share your enthusiasm. As Air Force retirees, you and I are both keenly aware of the importance of the flag as a symbol of freedom. A freedom hard fought to gain! My continued prayers go out to you.

It is certainly good to hear from you, my friend! My weekend was good. It was spent erecting a gazebo and then taking the time to enjoy it. All is well with me, and I pray with you as well.

Gordon, thank you so much for this comment. As a retired Air Force Veteran, and as a proud American, I believe the flag to be an important symbol of the freedom so valiantly fought for. That freedom must never be lost!

When I was in the U.S. I.was impressed how people flew the flags outside their homes. Tom

Tom, how very good to hear from you! Yes, it is heartwarming to see Old Glory wafting in the breeze at many homes in drives across country. Of course, we now have an issue because a certain athlete chose to kneel when the National Anthem was played.
