I love America.
Any suggestions?

"It's a little strange, this obsession of the flag," French author Bernard-Henri Levy wrote after traveling across the country.
Note to Monsieur Levy: We are proud of our country, even though the liberals are trying to make us like your country. Not going to happen! Not now, not ever. Because Socialism decays - always has, always will. And some of us will fight that until it attains the very timely and appropriate death it deserves.
Yo Frenchie! If you are going to tell me that France doesn't have their flag adorning almost every nook and cranny (muslim neighborhoods excluded) then you are a liar.
This is not an article - it is an opinion piece cloaked as informal journalism like the travel story in the NYT about Rummy and Cheney's houses, locations, roads leading to, hidden cameras etc.
Last - gag with a spoon about flag ettiquette - you have to love your country before you can ever show proper respect for the US Flag.
We fly a total of four flags, each and every day, at our home in Orange County. Two in front and two in back. Many of the neighbors fly at least one flag.

Any suggestions?
Donate to the DAV. I have been a regular donor and they sent me a real nice flag sticker that actually clings to the inside of your back window. I've had mine on for 2 years now and no fading. Of course one should donate to the DAV for the good of our vets but that's just one of the perks they sent me.
G-d bless America......... long may Old Glory wave!!!!
Oh, boy! Someone is in trouble tomorrow when he gets in to work!
The other day, I was at an event where we were singing 'America the Beautiful' and I only got halfway through the first part and I was too choked up to sing. Yes, the Anthem does it to me, too. That kills me because I want to belt them out.
I noticed, since I made a point of checking their home page to see if they'd acknowledge the holiday.
Yea, well they still have "failure" programmed to go to GWB's bio when you hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. They're still creeps.
Yeah...I logged onto them about 11:30 EDT...there was nothing on their logo.I suspect they noticed that their competitors had 4th graphics.Also, they might have gotten complaints, though I doubt they would have responded to them.Typically, they had femmie little kitties cavorting about.An American bald eagle with Old Glory in his talons would be appropriate.;-)
