In front of our home we fly the American flag and the Marine Corps flag. The American flag is worn and a bit tattered. We have plenty of new ones.
Weary Wife wants to change it. Thinks current condition is disrespectful.
Old Marine says no. It's a battle flag. We're at war. Asks if Weary Wife ever saw the flag at Ft McHenry.
What do you say?
Hmm, great question...
Also a Marine here, and personally I fly the nicest one possible. USMC flag too.
We might be at war, but theres no need to look ragtag.
Also cool that your wife wants it to look shipshape and squared away!
Wife here - Thank you.
