We have 3. One that is new that we use, one that is old and shredded and will be solemnly disposed by the Boy Scouts or the VFW, and a third one that we inherited from an uncle that has 48 stars.
We also rotate the flag from my Father-in-law's military funeral between my wife and her brothers. But it is kept in a display box and isn't ever flown.
Oddly enough, it was actually made here too.
I find it disheartening that it seems to get more difficult to find one with the "made in USA" label every year.
I am not American or living in America, so it would be hypocritical. We in England have various American flag-themed items ATM, being worn by purely English people. They seem to be trying to disown the place where they live, the ingrates. I own four English flags I acquired on a patriotic theatre trip, three of which were from people who didn't want theirs. I never had one before then, and may not have purchased one myself, though have considered it more than once. I am also showing love for my country in crocheting a red,white, and blue blanket
My father put a regulation flagpole in our front yard (with flag). If anyone asked him about it or kidded him, he looked down at them (being 6'3" he looked down at most people) and said something like "You aren't ashamed of the flag or your country, are you?" Nobody said much after that. After a few years our flag was a neighborhood point of pride. I think my father was too lol.
But maybe I should buy a EUROPEAN FLAG. Europe destroyed ACTA and discovered the Higgs Boson. European superiority in science and liberty has been established on this 4th of July.
