Thanks posts, wstera_02. The flag flies here 365 days a year.

Every day.

Our family always stands up at parades when the flag goes by. So many people don't anymore. Sad.

At our town's Christmas parade, we usually go to a certain place to watch. Have for years to watch the bands our sons play in. At the last Christmas parade, our oldest teenager was sitting with a bunch of buddies about 100 feet away from the wife and me. He was home from college. They were sitting on the curb as the parade started and the flag corp came by. I was watching him and his group wondering if he was going to stand up when the flag went by because it was obvious the group wasn't.

I stood there, watching, and sure enough, the flag came by and our son was the only one to stand up. Standing there, by himself. The others sat on the curb. As they noticed him standing there watching the flag approach, many of the rest of them started to stand. Not all of them stood up, but most of them did.

Was pretty proud of my boy taking it upon himself to do that. It may seem like a little thing to many, but to me it meant a lot.
