    No, its not about flying the flag, BUT flying the flag is yet another way to show your appreciation and remembrance of their sacrifice...

    Memorial Day is also one of those days designated where the flag should be displayed in particular...

    We're all on the same page about what this holiday is about. So, don't take this as being argumentative, just explaining my position...

    Yeah I can dig it, it just seems to me that if you expect everyone to fly the flag, then those who do won't be as special. Also, like wearing an American flag pin on your blazer or having one on your car. Seems like it gets to the point where if you don't have one, you aren't considered patriotic. The American flag I own that means the most to me is the patch my relatives wore through Vietnam. I had one on my car, but scraped it off when the sun started washing the colors out. My favorite is the olive drab velcro one on my go-bag.
