I have my grandpa's old US flag, and I occasionally display it for Independence Day or Memorial Day.
I am a low-key flag nerd and used to have a collection of interesting small flags in my bedroom as a kid. I would love to have a rotating selection of flags to fly in my front yard: historical US flags like the Serapis flag, or other flags that look cool or have interesting backgrounds. Alas, my wife won't let me put up a flagpole.
Could you put up like a Star Trek flag? π
Why no actual flagpole?
Heck yeah, I would fly a Star Trek flag. That would be a good choice on Gene Roddenberry's birthday.
She thinks it wouldn't look good in our yard. She may also suspect that I would occasionally fly stuff like the "defend equality" flag, which would cause some friction with our conservative neighbors.
Yeah, be careful - I don't know if we'll have an actual civil war but I also don't know that we won't, and what I do know is that we aren't what we used to be even a handful of years ago. Be safe, and be strategic.:-)
