Some of you may have already received this ping from another source but better to have received it twice.

[Smokin' Joe]

We have one flying on the rig 24/7.

I work from my home office where our Old Glory hangs proudly above my Greek flag, and there she'll stay!

I was born in this country. I am, therefore, an AMERICAN. Period!!

Thanks. I fly a 3' x 5' Betsy Ross version on the wall of my office.

By the way, why is it impossible to find US flags with the official proportions of 1.0 x 1.9? Technically, aren't all the 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 type flags unofficial and therefore disrespectful? Being too short, they don't fold properly. Why can't flag makers lengthen their flags to make them proper?

Pinging y'all to this thread!

I have a small flag flying at my desk every day.

[Awestruck]

thanks for that.... actually.. my work has TONS of American flags up all the time believe it or not.. it's one of the few good things about my work.

Perhaps July 4th is a more appropriate date for this? Not that I disagree with the concept at all.

Everyone, these are great symbolic ideas. Certainly no shopping on the designated days of protest to illegals is wonderful but we must also contact the people on the Hill and WH to voice our demands (Illegals aren't the only ones who can make demands). I saw spineless Lindsey Graham talking about deporting peoples' grandmas. Now he knows he could care less about some poor Mexican's grandma but only the cheap labor. Lindsey needs a good talking to. Everyone should write his office and McCain (Who still thinks he going to president after coming up with bill) and any other one of them soft on Deporting Illegals. NEWS FLASH: I heard one of the promoters of these marches that their goal was AMNESTY First, then DEMAND EQUAL WAGES. So much for Bush's cheap labor argument.

Um, I thot Thursday was Queers-day. (Anyone remember that?)

Oooohhhhh, that's old...But funny...

Personally I prefer a march Of Americans on Washington to send a Message it is about time these feckless cowards in Washington show some common sense and enforce the law instead of piling on the BS.WHERE ARE ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO OBEY THE LAW AND PAY THEIR TAXES AND CONSTANTLY GET SCREWED !!!!!!!!!!! HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO TAKE THIS,UNTIL THE COUNTRY IS GONE

[Texagirl4W]

Thanks for the ping. This is a great idea.

I currently use this as wallpaper on my computer.

Thanks for the ping, Bahbah.

I have had a flag in my front window since right after 9/11. I will look for a new one for my car, and a larger one for my window.
