I had high hopes, yet minimal faith, that it would be replaced before America’s 241st birthday this year. Unfortunately, that did not happen until someone called to ask if it could be replaced.

If the county administrators, directors and supervisors cannot be responsible enough to display American flags with all due respect (read Old Main Post Office), then please spare us the embarrassment and shame and just take them down and the flagpoles with them.
