Default New Flag for Memorial day

Installed a new Valley Forge flag this morning on the front porch. It was the least I could do in remembrance of the sacrifice born by those who helped make and keep our country great.

The used Flag was properly folded, placed in a plastic bag and dropped off at the local VFW for proper removal of the field from the stripes for burning. They have an old mail box ,painted red,white and blue clearly marked for used flags.
( The local Boy Scout Troop does the flag burning ceremony.)

I finally put up a flagpole (on the tree in the front), but I just didn't have the heart to fly an American flag while we're under the Vichy Biden junta rule. I am flying the "An Appeal to Heaven" flag instead. I mean, it's a US Naval flag, I think the spirit is there.

I fly the American flag to show I am a Patriot and who's side I'm on.

I bought a flag for the first time. I didn't get it put up though. Definitely will for 4th of July.

Years ago, I bought and stood 40' flagpole that I'd found on ebay for 300.00! Problem was getting it home, had to hire a tractor trailer company, at another 300.00. This is my second flag this one measures 8'X12', takes a pretty good wind to see it sail! The pole is in the center of our driveway island, surrounded by 100 boxwoods, a project still continuing with additional trees and shrubs. I keep a 1000w (iirc) solar light on it every night. That's my neighbors, house in the background.

Stars and Stripes now flown from our porch for over 40 years 24/7.

I've had people in Libtard West Seattle walk by and thank me for flying it
as well as other critters with mental problems give it the finger but only
when we 're not on the porch but watching from the window. Cowards.

We all make choices but I'm grateful for the blessing God gave me when I
finally took out my citizenship and America became my home.
