There were also a few other flags and I will point this out tomorrow, but overall there was a lack of patriotic focus -- there did not seem to be any patriotic theme, and if you were there and saw the crowd, the only flags they seemed to have were the tiny ones the Freeholders gave. Contrast that with the pictures of the 2007 crowd from the post above. Thanks for the correction and Check back tomorrow.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867186465663386310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-73916321102192192932009-07-05T15:41:31.677-04:002009-07-05T15:41:31.677-04:00Dan - My husband who is the Union County Commander...Dan - My husband who is the Union County Commander for the American Legion was apart of the veterans float and I must beg to differ because the American flag was prominently displayed on the front of the float along with the American Legion flag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-75817912163451163132009-07-05T10:50:51.307-04:002009-07-05T10:50:51.307-04:00Unfortunately, "flag waving" got a bad n...Unfortunately, "flag waving" got a bad name during the Viet Nam war, and Bush's Iraq folly didn't help. I am proud to be an American and fly our flag - but with a little less enthusiasm as I've become aware of our follies abroad, to say nothing of the smorgasbord of greed that took us into the current depression. Proud? Yes. Without qualifications? No.BoomerChefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07398988496998248819noreply@blogger.com
