1. After we attacked and occupied a country (Iraq)
I quit flying my flag.

I flew it for the first time in 6 years on November 4th

7. I quit saying the pledge of allegiance that day,
and I will never say it again. I am a citizen of the world and my dog is God.

3. I took my old flag down years ago
I received a lovely new Betsy Ross style flag for Christmas, and it goes up the 28 foot pole at noon today.

8. I put my flag up today too!
It's a Spirit of '76 flag that Deep13 got me for my birthday after becoming a US citizen.

There's been no desire to fly it these past 8 years.

Today is a wonderful day! :party: :patriot:
