Here's my best American flag, and apparently AOL and Patch liked it too since they used it without my permission for July 4th, 2010.

Outstanding WRR,
I too have family that served proudly most branches repsented within the family. I am a firefighter and one thing that will get us going is to see a tatered flag not properly retired. There are even veteran service groups that will respectfully retired flags. Oh btw when the flags on the trucks are discoverd to be torn then they are replaced.

There us a country song referring to the old tatter flag I believe, it depends on what it stands for in your perception of what it means.

I totally agree with you. I have also called businesses where the flag was flying in shreds. All but one took care of the problem and erected a new flag promptly. As much as I hate seeing tattered flags flying, it irks me even more when businesses don't even fly a flag. In my opinion, lots of people have died defending what our flag stands for, and they probably wouldn't even have a business if it wasn't for that!! Oh boy, don't get me going! Hahaha!
