The first thing I see when I look out my window is my flag of the United States of America blowing in the breeze. Often, I will sit and gaze at the flag - great focus for thinking. These are my musings and ramblings, and, on occasion, rants... I am unapologetic in my support of our military, our country and my devotion to God. I will honor them and pay tribute to them here. Along the side bar you will find tributes to Oregon's fallen warriors.

Happy Flag Day!
Yes, Happy Flag Day and thank you for the photopost reminding us of the flag's important place in such sacred grounds.
Beautiful pictures of Old Glory. Thank you! I like them all, and that Peterson's Garden pic is awesome.
My flag is flying high, but the flagpole needs painting. Can't do it in the rain though. Still, the important part is the flag. :)
Have Ol' Glory flyin' high!
Nice posting of the flags.
The Stars and Stripes Forever!
FTGF!
Out in Santa Monica, the freeway, by the freeway on-ramp, there is a huge, huge flag that rises out of some recycling center/garage. It's beautiful. And during Memorial Day and Veterans, for about a week in advance, the MIA flag is hung.
I've seen in the news where the flag gets stolen, from time to time. Sad. But how happy when the flag is raised again! A constant reminder on my drive to and from on the freeway!
Quite an impressive collection of flag pictures. Are they all pictures that you have taken?
