Yes, and we had yellow ribbons all over our house and yard for my brother....

I dont care if I agree with the war or not. I support the troops, they are putting there life on the line for us (maybe not directly).

After trying for weeks to get my lame drill to drill into my brick house to put the flag pole stand in, I gave up and got a garden American flag. I'm still hoping to get the big one up this spring though. I also have a red, white and blue ribbon tied to my shepherd's hook.

My mom had a flag magnet on her car and it got stolen. I don't know who would want to steal such a thing.

I don't have anywhere to fly a flag so I have a flag magnet on my car and I want to get one of those yellow ribbon ones for the troops.

Yes we sure do. There are a couple of months in the winter that we couldn't have it up because we would leave the house in the dark and return in the dark and we don't have a light on the flag. Other than that we fly it every day.

This thread made me smile!

We dont' have a flag, but just about everyone has banners and ribbons hanging on their windows and cars. Of course, I'm in a military community!

We have a flag flying from our lanai, a huge yellow ribbon tied around a cement pillar in our garage, and yellow ribbon magnets are on every car.

Cool

Yea.

It is so nice to turn the corner and see The Stars and Stripes flying from the pole when I turn the corner on my street!

My Adopted Nephew is now in Kuwait. Came from Oakinawa as an Airman, flew to LA, then To DWF, Then To Norfolk, Then To Newfoundland, then To Shannon, then to Bulgaria. Now in Kuwait. Bookems Boy and mine so to speak!

Airforce, attatched to the 1 St Air Cav. Special kind of Kid!

Flag still at the Store. Need to get Yellow Ribbons To put on the Tree in front of the Duplex. His Sister who rents from me has a Star Flag in the window, Damn I want to put one up so bad! But not a True Relitive!

God Bless our Troops!

We have a yardarm (basically a flagpole shaped like a cross with flads on the top three points) at the foot of our dock that flies the American flag in the center, the POW/MIA flag one one side and the Department of the Navy flag on the other side.

We're really flag people, I suppose!
