Just a reminder to fly the flag tomorrow (full staff) in observance of Veterans Day.

..... and pay respect to it when you see it. A lot of people sacrificed everything they had so that it could fly tomorrow !!

Also, the VA is asking all vets to wear their medals on Veterans day.

I got to see if I can find mine, I think I put them in that safe place. So safe, even I can't find them.

I fly my flag daily on my right arm. Been doing it for over 13 years now and love every minute of it. So every time i hear someone get all bleading heart or way right wing I can just tell them your welcome with a smile and keep on doing my job.
And to all those before me thank you for giving me the chance to serve you.

I get to fly mine on my left arm. I think I'm going to go down to the VFW tomorrow night to talk to some of the older Vets.

What a great idea - think I'll take off from work early and do just that...

We are at war. I fly my flag every day & night. 24/7/365. The only time it comes down is to retire it, and haul up a new one.

When the war is over and all soldiers come home the flag comes down.
