I’m not a big flag waver. We put some out on Memorial Day and July 4th but that is about it. Just a few small ones along the garden. But today is Flag Day so I thought I would participate here.

I have a military funeral flag from my father’s burial that is displayed in a nice case some kind person sent me and is displayed in front of 34 8×10 prints of my favorite shots from Arlington National Cemetery where my parents are buried.

A neighbor up the street has a flagpole and had theirs up all the time before they moved. They have sat empty since.

For the last 9 years of my career, I looked out my window at these two flags that flew over the Washington Post building on 15th street NW. For the first 17 years I walked under them to enter the building.
