The only flag that should be flown with the American flag is the POW flag.

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

The only flag that should be flown with the American flag is the POW flag. Men and women in the military dedicated and sacrificed their lives for our countries freedom. There shouldn’t even be a question about the American flag flying alone. I don’t care what gender or race you are if you served in the military you should know the importance of our American flag and what it means.

I am a human being first, and an American second. (I am a Vineyarder first, and an Edgartonian second.) Patriotism at its best includes room for dissent,as when it speaks to the urge to honor the very best in a nation's ideas and ideals; at its worst,patriotism is mere tribalism and the rejection of the humanity of the "other."
