It's been hard to find a starting point for this essay but I know that I want to be able to incorporate the fact that American means freedom to me on so many levels - the freedom to fly the flag, the freedom to disagree with my government should I choose to do so, the freedom to express myself. <BR/><BR/>Maybe your post has given me a starting off point after all!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-3018972302295117302007-07-02T14:14:00.000-07:002007-07-02T14:14:00.000-07:00Yes!

My neighbors across the street from me have a flag pole and fly OLD GLORY 24/7 and have a spot light on the flag at night. My neigbor served in Iraq for a tour of duty and all of us were so happy when he came home safe and sound! and I get to look out and enjoy seeing the flag flying in the breeze everyday!<BR/>GramsTalk..to..Gramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768557531174157761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-59298801896683378452007-07-02T13:46:00.000-07:002007-07-02T13:46:00.000-07:00The flag flying is one thing that my husband is ha...The flag flying is one thing that my husband is happy to be able to do in the US. This is his first independence day as a US Citizen and we proudly fly both the American flag and British flag...it's kind of ironic for him celebrating independence from the British...haha! But he's glad to be free from the anger, violence, etc. that Ruth was talking about in her comment.Not So Anonymous Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232156.post-44083876435720926972007-07-02T10:15:00.000-07:002007-07-02T10:15:00.000-07:00Excellent Gracie - We too are proud to live in the...Excellent Gracie - We too are proud to live in the United States of America.
