They hope to see Mormons and cowboys and Indians. <br /> Of course we honor the flag. We do it voluntarily. <br />We wave that flag about on Memorial Day, on the 4th, on Flag Day, on Pioneer Day (24th July).<br /> We observe Veterans Day.<br />We remember. We do not worship a flag or any religion or political party.

Bill Moyers wrote an essay during that time, emphasizing that it's our flag, too (meaning peacemongers, people-feeders, and other such.) We observe the flag-flying days by flying one here at the Redford manse, but we wouldn't do it if we hadn't read that back then. I did a short search for a link and didn't find it (though I'm sure it's still there,) but I found this recent one by Lynn Scherr: https://billmoyers.com/story/flags-bigger-patriotic-myths/ <br /><br />It sounds like you're your usual well-adjusted self about it, but I thought I'd pipe up here.Ali Redfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10391438915122563676noreply@blogger.com
