The Flagpole


The Flag Pole Story

As you can determine by the looks of our home we are not pretentious people.
We live in a quiet, respectful neighborhood. Our home is small and very comfortable for the two of us. It is a Grandma, Grandpa type home.
We have one bedroom, office, sewing room, living room, family room, laundry room , two bathrooms and a kitchen. When people come to stay we have 148 suites at the Hilton Hotel a few blocks away for guests.
We are of the conservative persuasion and not of any political party because they are too liberal for us. We were Republicans but that party became the same as the Democrats and we are left without a party.
I served in the US Navy during part of WWII as a Radarman aboard the USS Sacramento in the Pacific Theater of war.
We have shown our patriotism by flying the US flag at our homes for many years.
You can see we have a 20’ flag pole in our yard. We have the flag high up because we have had the misfortune of having four flags stolen from our previous small flagpole.
This flagpole allows us to fly the flag all the time day and night. We have a spotlight on the flag at night. It is high enough so it cannot be stolen.
You would think in our neighborhood we would not have this problem. In today’s world it seems not to matter where you live. There is someone who will do there best to disturb the peaceful way of life.
May our country’s flag fly high and bright as we go through these difficult times. Are you flying your flag?
