We had a young British friend of my daughter's stay with us for 10 days about 2 years ago. One of the first impressions he had of America was all of the American flags. He was astonished by that and said in England, you might see the St. George one but rarely the Union Jack.

Pretty sad to see what the once-great British empire has become....

We have never been a nation that wears our patriotism on our sleeve. Our patriotism is understated.

Believe me, we may not fly flags outside a football match, but we are as patriotic as you.
