It's also the birthday of the person who, for years, stalked me. Not malicious stalking. Pathetic, needy, cringeworthy stalking.

All in all, not a day that inspires me to celebrate.

of having that be her birthday. When she was a little girl her dad used to drive here around and tell her everyone put out their flags for her birthday.

At this point, who cares about the day when the flag of the US was standardized?

I feel like the people in my area have co-opted our flag to represent their traitor cult, so I haven't flown a flag outside for a long time.

When I see all the flags out (not as many as there used to be) I think something important happened. Then I remember what day it is

Every year we make reference to the Simpsons episode where Homer starts writing fortune cookie fortunes, and one of the ones he writes is, "You will find true love on Flag Day."

Nobody really cares about it’s meaning. It’s nothing but a day for trash to display their jingoism. An American flag will never fly over my house, on that day or any other.

I try not to hate or love people I don't know. But threw that idea out the window with traitor. He is like chalk on a blackboard-always was, always will be. I can't stand to look at him, or listen to him. Stopping before I go into a full-blown rant :/

My son was born on July 5th
My other son was born the day after my bday

So, my son would tease my daughter:

"I was born the day after the 4th of July
JG was born the day after Mom's birthday
And you were born the day after Hitler's birthday!"

That's how I knew Hitler's BD!
