Hi, everyone.
I'm from Michigan, and live in a rural area, and I've noticed something lately that alarms me.
At two different houses in the area where I live, on two different roads miles apart, there are tattered American flags hung outside for display. Both are absolutely tattered-- actually almost completely shredded --and very faded and weather-worn.
At least they appeared to be. But as I've looked closer at them, these tattered flags looked exactly identical, with the same shredding and color-fading. At one of the houses, the flag flies from the house itself, but there is a nice flag pole outside also, with a brand-new, yellow "don't-tread-on-me" NRA flag on it (but no U.S. flag).
What I want to know is, are those tattered U.S. flags ones you can actually buy that way (pre-shredded and faded)? As some sort of protest flag, maybe?
If so, I find them very offensive and disrespectful.
Does anyone here know? Perhaps it's just by chance that those two U.S. flags are so worn-out, but it sure looks like they were manufactured that way.
Thanks!
