Level 15

I have my flag flying today, just like I do on other national holidays like the 4th of July and Veterans Day.  I don't think there is a better country to live in, but that doesn't mean we don't have a lot of room for improvement.  I watched a show on PBS last night about the Japanese internment camps during WWII.  Those people certainly didn't feel free.  I was looking to see if PBS was going to follow up that program with a show about the German internment camps during WWII but for some odd reason there wasn't anything about that.  And we certainly can't feel totally free when 9 and 10 year olds have to worry about whether they will be alive to catch the school bus at the end of the school day.  I respect anybody that put on a uniform to help defend this country, but I also respect anybody that wants to take a knee during a football game during the national anthem.  Land of the free also makes it possible to have different opinions without the need to have a barroom brawl when someone has an opinion different from your own.
