I live on a dead end street with about 14 houses. I've had two flags on my property displayed continuously for the past 20 years!

Starting last year, a neighbor attached flag holders to all of the telephone poles on the street at about a 10 foot level. He just installed the flags (about 10), and will take them down about mid July. It really makes the street look good.

... and last Halloween, he had ghosts or witches flying on each pole.

Here is a nice shot of a local cemetery that is right next to the police station. Every holiday (Veterans, Memorial Day, 4th July, etc) they put at least 500 to 1000 flags on the grounds.

Bernie,

Johnny Cash was always one of my favorite entertainers and he was born not to far from where I was. There is a movie about Ira Hays and it is pretty interesting. They used him for his popularity and then dumped him just as they do anyone else when they have gotten all they can out of them. And he was not used to all the Washington type partying and didn't like being in big crowds.

Warren,

Nice picture. They do that at the cemetery here where my family is all buried and keep it mowed and looking nice.
