Flag Day

I had a blogg written for flag day but my blogg would not let me on but I am writing it a few days late June 14th was flag day. It is great to display our flag. Growing up my parents strung one across the front porch so it must have been fastened to the drain pipe. We moved to Kansas City in 19551 and I had a hole in the front yard so I could put the flag in. I put a twiler there so I would not lose the piece of pipe. I flew it on Martin Luther King Day, flag day and the fourth of July. I always hoped it would be a calm day and my flag would not fly out and show I only had 48 Stars. One year I helped work on Congressmen Larry Winn's campaign and mentioned my flag. After he was elected he gave me a flag with 50 stars that had flown over the National Capitol building. I cannot raise the flag from my wheelchair but the neighbors put one up and the ones across the street west fly on all the time. If you fly them at night you have to have them lighted and they have the streetlight that shines on theirs. I admire my flag but do not try to fly it.
