Psst.
Psst. Hey, you. You with the flag outside your house, or on your car, or on your antenna, or on your bike, or wherever. The one you put up after 9/11.
It's getting ragged. I know your patriotism is still as strong, and I know you still want to honor our country by displaying a flag... just, you know, when you get time, put a new shiny fresh one up, ok?
I found out a while back that it really bothers veterans when they see a tattered, soggy, or mistreated flag. Since it's because of them I have the freedom to do what I do, the least I can do is keep a decent flag, I figger.
