I don't need a flag on my porch to show pride in my country.
Materialistic pride, no thanks.
Bro, it's left over from WW II and the Cold War, when McCarthyism was running rampant in this country. Mostly older people fly American Flags these days.
I'm old, but not old enough for that era.

/e Some younger ppl fly them if they have children in the mideast war, or relatives or family members, who died there, or even in earlier wars. Ofc, they are also flown by a lot of ppl on patriotic holidays as well.
The real question is, why you care. ^^
/ee Btw the way I called the long dead hedge and call the new Ilex Red Beauty...president Bush
