What do you think about an RE group putting American flags on all lawns in a neighborhood? The next day, about 40% were gone. I liked the idea when I thought it was a neighbor's work, but not so as ad

Good morning Ann. Our flag should always be honored, no matter what reason it is displayed.

If they did it for the vets without recognition OK...not when you need recognition for doing it.

It's been done for years as a real estate gimmick. I'm not into gimmicks.

I hope that the owners were asked if RE people could plant the flags. It's not indicative of not being American by owners taking them down, maybe they just wanted to be asked? Not sure if I understood the question right.

Not sure if there is any significant benefit but it's a rather common practice in many communities in Northern Virginia.

Ann, my first question is, did they have permission? I don't know about doing that. I mean, I am patriotic, but that is almost like putting pink flamingos out on someones lawn.
