Are people now so cynical that there is no more respect in Memorial Day? Maybe so.

Your neighbors aren’t as pro America as you think. They are democrat scum.

Maybe they don’t own a flag or they’re lazy. Some people think of Memorial Day as a day off from work and a day for a barbecue. And when they think about those 2 things they say to themselves, “oh yeah, it’s Memorial Day.” I know several of these people.

Could be multiple reasons.

I had a cloth flag and kept forgetting to put it out for holidays. Finally bought a nylon all-weather flag and now just leave it up all the time.

Some may not have a flag, some may not be home, and your odd leftist won’t fly a “racist and imperialist flag”...

It’s not that they are cynical, they just don’t care or not tend to show they care in a “non-internet” way. WE good, honorable people have trended towards just shutting up and not sharing those ideals that WE hold dear. Did anyone stop and explain to a younger person what Memorial Day is all about? We have to do a better job...

I lost my home in a nasty divorce and for the next dozen years I rented. When I was finally able to purchase another home one of the first things I did was install a flag pole.

I’m one of the few in the neighborhood that actually fly the flag but I accept it as another sign of the times. I don’t do (or not do) based on what others do.

Maybe they feel the country is letting them down and don’t feel very patriotic this year. (Without understanding that it’s the democrat party doing the damage and they foolishly keep voting democrat)

Also, the majority of Americans don’t know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day.

The Hate America culture tells them the flag is racist and xenophobic and they don’t want to insult anyone.

There are many wealthy foreign people in my neighborhood from Asian and Eastern European countries.

THEY had flags flying. Street was full of flags yesterday, waved to my neighbors as they were putting them up.

But out of 20 houses, only two had flags out in Memorial Day.

Not as many houses here, but the same result. Me and the ex-Marine across the street.

Retired USN area, base is 15 miles away, lots of flags out, most were half mast. I bought a 20 ft pole for ours. Navy flags go on the house. Memphis another story, blue owned and run.
