I have been taking photos of our Stars and Stripes lately. I spotted this flag flying above a school in our neighborhood last week as the sun was setting.
I took the photo below of a torn American flag that flies from a highway overpass. It was published in the newspaper today, with information about where to properly dispose of tattered flags.
A member of the American Legion did not know who had put the flag there. It clearly needs to be taken down and disposed of properly.
There is a second, slightly less tattered flag attached to the railing on the other side of the overpass. One veteran I spoke to surmised that the flags could have been put there after Sept. 11, 2001.
Today, on Veterans Day, I am deeply grateful to all veterans and I thank them for their service and their sacrifice.

I do wish someone would replace the flags. My neighbor certainly would. He can not stand to see a tattered or torn flag. He's been known to knock on people's doors.
Big hugs :]
Perfect post for Veterans Day, Patti!
You got a picture published in the paper? Wow! Impressive! Pretty soon it will be Princess Patti, Ace Reporter and Photographer Extraordinaire!
