As a tribute to my
father-in-law, we fly a new fag to replace the old one that we had in the flagpole. This was the first Memorial day that my FIL is not around since he passed this last March.
Our Memorial weekend was full of activities that were dedicated to our beloved WW2 Vet. Remembering him on that special day was emotional for us especially to my husband. He tries to suppress his feelings but it shows in his words and action.
Aside from this flag, we also put a
small flag on my FIL's grave when we visited him and other loved ones in the cemetery.
When the flag is in such condition where it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.
June 14 is the Flag Day so this post is perfect for that celebration too. The especial holidays to fly a flag includes Inauguration Day, President's Day, Armed Forces Day, Patriot Day, Pearl Harbor Day, Veteran's Day, Constitution Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, POW/MIA Recognition Day and other special holidays.
I would love to get a new flag for our home. This was a great reminder for me to go out and look for one.
ReplyDeleteI love it! We keep a flag out in our yard at all times to honor our country.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful how you fly your American flag so proudly. Wish more people did. I have many service members in my family including my husband, son and a son-in-law who have served or is serving.
