US Flag laying in the road...

Good for you, OP. Thanks for rescuing the flag from being run over!
I wonder how it got there? Did it fall off the back of a fire truck?

It's a damn shame that nobody else acted.

Thanks for picking up Old Glory.

If you only have the current status of this country as a measuring stick, there isn't a whole lot to be proud of.

If you're a fan of history, you realize how far we've fallen from our founding principles.

Thank you.
It's actions like this that still give me a glimmer of hope for this once great nation.

The flag only means something to those who understand. The understanding only comes from not taking something for granted. If you have never been asked to sacrifice or talked to those that have, you assume you are entitled to whatever you have without further sacrifice. Even so little sacrifice as the time it takes to simply pickup a flag.

I use a flag to cover my gun storage cabinet. I'd prefer to have it hanging in front of, but right now it is mostly draped over the top. It never touches the ground though.

I had no idea that was a use for OUR flag. Sarcasm intended !!!

The flag probably came unattached from some flag pole in the back of some patriot's pickup. Never quite understood that behavior. Good of you to pick it up.

I'll make it a priority to get it fixed asap and get back with you.

This looks a lot better. It was very simple and I don't know why I didn't get around to it before. Thanks for the motivation StagLefty.

Thanks for saving the flag. I appreciate it. I have served our country as an active duty Marine for 23 years and have seen men, damn good men, die for that flag, for what it represents. I have told my wife and daughter that when I die I want to be laid down with my flag in my arms. I am just so disappointed in our current state of affairs in this country. I can get mad, really mad but it wouldn't solve anything. It begins with our children, they learn contempt and disrespect for our flag in schools, many no longer say the pledge of allegiance in the morning, or bother to talk about it's meaning in class. The schools feel that it may offend some students. Well, disrespecting the flag offends me, what about my feelings?
