Flag Day: Have We Forgotten?

Do you still see a lot of homeowners who regularly fly the American flag in your neighborhood? Or is that a tradition that has long since fallen by the wayside?

What do you think? Has American forgotten Flag Day? If so, why? Here's what people said on Facebook:

  • Brad Kaufman I put mine up in summer 2001. Been flying proudly since then. And yes, it's illuminated.
  • Kathleen Wied Vincent I still see many people who fly the flag. People need to be reminded however that when the United State flag is flown at night it should be illuminated.
  • Gerri Fojtik Kowalski I'm in a 55 and over community, and the flag is flown by many residents daily. Today there are many, many flags flying.
  • Nicki Kroll I sure did! It's also the 119th anniversary of my dear Grandpa's birth. He came to the US from Palermo, Italy at 16 and as a naturalized citizen always reminded us of that.
