Post a pic of old glory wherever you see it. Unusual places, like on the moon or at a democratic party meeting. If you see the flag and it is in an interesting setting or place snap the shot and post her up.
I'll form a panel of judges to vote, say, every month on the coolest pic. The winner will get a hardy handshake and a toothy smile from us if we ever see ya
Get it goin', who's first?

Oh, and you have to tell us something about it...Our SOPs state that the first daily duty of the first arriving firefighter is to raise the flag.

The city put this flag up for a week in his memory

It was an amazing feet, I can’t remember the size of the flag but it was an absolute beauty to see every morning from the roof of the homes we built right below the canyon

Sidenote. My biggest account is an Iwo vet, silver star recipient. Tough old bird... think he just turned 90 and still working his butt off. Great man.Ken, that gave me an idea
It would be nice to honor such people
Idea: We create a Real Man hall of honor
Where the readership (Except daves and other boneheads) ;-)), nominate truly exceptional candidates over a month long run. Then at the end of that time, say a "council" of active members here get to nominate say, 5 candidates from the pool. We then put those nominees up for a vote of the readership. The chosen man/woman is then inducted into our hall of honor with pictures and a nice write-up.
What do you guyz think about that?
Oh, and let's move this discussion over into the admin thread so as not to junk up this flag thread which is here to honor our flag and nation.
So, Daves, and everyone else, start a response over in the admin section please. If you can't get into the admin thread (Because I don't want you in there ;-)), then just PM me, your opinion is important to me!

I would say it got washed, heck I'd volunteer for that!JR, it was painted, then the artist washed over it with the brownish/green tint to make it appear old and weathered.
it was just painted last summer!

...American Warrior!
He is what the world who hates us fears
Really!
Average guy who sets his life aside, climbs into a uniform and becomes a warrior
Nothing scares these guys
Nope, you hear a boom, and next thing
These brave men jock up, turn toward the sound and go hunting
The world should fear men who are driven by principal and not forced to pick a gun and fight
and they do...

Not to go all political in this thread but I feel that is why so many people would like to attack our rights to own firearms.

Thanks for raising him right and sharing him with us. It may not seem like it if you look at the news or what is going on in the country and world right now, but the nation shares your loss, Especially his brothers in arms.
Matt, Thank you I have to say it has been a little hard this year with everything that has been going on and how we left. There are a few thing that have always gotten us through
1) Brett was doing what he wanted to do and he was good at it.
2) There is a time that is appointed for us to die
3) Brett knew the Lord and we will see him again
Thanks again
Steve
