well what a day today and tomorrow will be. The president will be inaugurated today privately and publicly tomorrow(yawn). I read in an email that people have no more sense of honor to our country, which I tend to agree with. This country was founded on the honor and loyalty of our forefathers. People have no respect for our flag, no loyalty to each other, and no respect. People right here in America believe it is OK to burn our flag. People will allow the flag to touch the ground and see no harm done. Years ago we knew how to fold, honor and respect the flag. I would be willing to bet that most people have no idea why the flag if folded a certain way for a veteran that has died. I can only remember that it is folded thirteen time and each fold represents something. The good thing is here is the answer. Please understand it is symbolic more then fact, but it is still relevant. People do not fly the flag like used to be done. It is flown just for special days. What happened to people that flew their flag most of the year and done so properly. I can tell you that generation has passed on and nobody has or will fill their shoes. Do you know if the flag is flown at night it must be illuminated from dusk to dawn? That leads us to loyalty to the flag and others. There is a lot of people including relatives that will lie, steal, and cheat you just to get what they want. It use to be no loyalty among thief's but now it's among each other. We have become a society that is more selfish than any society in history. We have to be first in every thing from the gas pump to the bank. Me I let every one go on let them go first I am trying to slow my life down and take time to "Stop and Smell the Roses." I may not succeed every day but I am working on me...are you? Respect kind of goes along with loyalty, because if you respect someone then most of the time you will respect them also. Well have a great day Joe
