I am thrilled that everyone is now showing such amazing patriotism by flying our flag high and proud, but it amazes me that no one knows how to care for them!

There are laws on how to care for flags...two of the biggest that people constantly break are: ALWAYS take the flag down during bad weather (including rain), and don't leave it out over night...and sense we are no longer officially in a state of morning, it should currently be taken down after sunset and risen at dawn *just like we are no longer flying it at half staff*

*also on a side note...don't buy American flags that were made in another country. Nothing ticks me off more than seeing an American flag that says "Made in Brazil" on it!*

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
