This is our flag, Flaggie. I realize some of you are astounded and amazed at the creative complexity involved in naming her. All I can tell you is we’re just good at that sort of thing.
Anyhoo – this flag was acquired in 2001, shortly after the heartbreak of September 11th. The grand old gal has moved with us from house to house and she’s still waving strong. Her colors have started to fade, which is the result of my choosing a cloth flag instead of some sort of plastic. I’m okay with that. She’ll last as long as she lasts and when her time comes, she’ll be retired.
In the meantime, she waves today. And I love her.
Happy President’s Day.
