Well I probably don't represent the typical American. My husband was in the Navy when we met and married. My brother fought in Vietnam, my father in WWII along with all his five brothers, my grandfather in WWI, and on down through the family. We have always been slightly more patriotic than some families I see.
My husband and I laughed at the run on flags. We have had a flagpole in our yard flying the stars and stripes almost since we moved in. It went in the same day as our mailbox!
I agree, few people really think about the sacrifice of our military. For those of you that would like to do something about that, check out adoptaplatoon.org - and consider adopting a soldier - as a pen pal or with goodie boxes, or if you are really ambitious - adopt a whole platoon!
