--- Worse yet, many regard Memorial Day as a time to celebrate the beginning of summer rather than a day set aside to honor our nation's war dead ---

--- Is it any wonder veterans often feel their fellow countrymen don't appreciate the sacrifices they made ? ---

--- Fly your flag on all patriotic holidays, but especially on Veterans Day and Memorial Day ---

--- In doing so, you'll show veterans you remember and care ---

--- Just as importantly, you'll remind others in your neighborhood of the meaning of these two observances ---

--- It's such a simple thing to do, but so important !" ---



--- Remember to fly your flag this Veterans Day, Saturday 11 November 2006 !!!

I agree.
Where would this country be without veterans willing to die for their cause and country.

[KCLadyFan]

We have been flying our flag since the beginning of the war...

good post az...

[CameronY]

Yes sirreee!

Thanks for the post AZ! I agree with you on all points.

I am a lifetime member of the DAV and a disabled Army vet to boot. My brother is still serving and could retire if he wanted to but just wants to keep serving.

My flag flies 24/7 (properly illuminated, of course).

Take the time to thank a vet you know.

Morning AZ! Good reminder. I've never looked at Veterans Day as anything but a tribute to men and women in the military and those who have given up so much to keep this United States a democracy, free, and safe. In fact, I've felt the "sales" around stores is appauling. Have quite a few in my own family.

DAV - I donate to quite frequently to. They call me every two weeks to see if they can stop by and pick up items. They will even give you a reminder call----because they need these donations!

Paralyzed Vets - I gave furniture to (a lot actually) that we did not have room for, and they even had a couple veterans come and pick it up. They were very grateful, because they said that they needed it for vets to practice with in their wheelchairs and handicaps, like a staged home environment so they can adapt once out on their own. They were thrilled and therefore, so was I.

Even if you don't have extra cash....there are other ways to donate. Time, your truck to haul (even if only one time) items they need, household items (in decent working condition).

Nice thread AZ---a goody! :thumb:

I agree.

Where would be any country without the sacrifice of some people for freedom and all our causes ?

BTW, good thread AZ... I think no country should forget the ones who gave their blood for it...

[bronco bible]

Fly your flag proudly ,to many people forget what sacrifices were made so we could have our freedom. :usa:

[BroncoManiac_69]

We fly our flag with pride every national holiday and then some. And like KC Lady, we have a flag wind sock that has been up since the war started and will not come down until our boys are home.

I have a veteran marine as a neighbor and he appreciates seeing that flag fly. He told me so. :usa:
