Surely Veterans Day is one flag-flying day you don’t need a reminder about.
At least, I hope so. Veterans Day gets a lot more attention and due homage in 2013 than it did in 2000. Good.

Parades and ceremonies at National Cemeteries and other veterans memorial sites will mark the day; it’s a good time to consider whether we offer our veterans the respect they have earned and deserve, especially when cutting their benefits.
Fly your flag sunrise to sunset, please. Veterans Day, November 11, Armistice Day, Veterans affairs, veterans benefits
Veterans look out for one another. Joseph Ambrose, an 86-year-old World War I veteran, attended the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982. He is holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, who was killed in the Korean War. U.S. Census Bureau photo via Wikipedia
