I bought a flag today...

I have never flown the flag at my home before. But, for the past few years, I have been thinking I should get one to fly on patriotic days such as Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Independence Day, etc. So today the kids and I went out and bought one, the kind that just sticks into a mount that you put where you want. I put the mount on a post at the end of the driveway, and explained to the kids that we are going to fly it on certain holidays, but not all the time (I think it makes a better point, that way). What was it that finally made me do it? I think it was superfreakazoids like this.
