My husband isn't in the armed forces, but you wouldn't know that by speaking to him. In his younger days he was in ROTC, twirled trick rifles in front of large audiences, and briefly attended
a local maritime college. He even folds his clothes the same way many soldiers are taught in boot camp.
He's truly an all American guy. So, imagine
my glee when I saw this great bargain in the latest issue of Real Simple magazine.
Here's what the offer says:
Don’t get caught without your red, white, and blue this Fourth of July. Get a free three-by-five-foot polyester flag from AmericanFlags.com (usual price: $20) and pay only $6 for shipping and handling. While on the site, check out the flag trivia, which includes why Old Glory gets folded 13 times.
Note: Long Island boaters can pick up nautical-themed flags too!
I plan to order now in time for the upcoming holiday!

When my dad died, the funeral director said that if we were able to provide a copy of his military discharge papers, the funeral home could get a flag free from the local post office. We did and they did and at Dad's funeral, the flag was proudly rested atop Dad's coffin.
