Your question came at the right time for me. I am presently on a tour with a group from the U,K. and we have been seeing American flags flying on various houses and buildings as we are traveling around the western states. The people on the tour asked if we are allowed to fly our flags at any time, and this brought up the subject of Memorial Day as well as the feeling of being proud to fly an American flag. When we passed a military cemetery I also explained that on Memorial Day and other specific holidays there is a flag on every grave, and they were very impressed with that. They said they wished every country had that tradition. It made me very proud to be an American and to know that the people in this group appreciated the importance of the holiday and the American flag.
