Letters to the Editor

Saratoga Springs has a long history with our nations flag going back to the 1700’s.

The Stars and Stripes are a symbol of our nations pride, and its appreciation for the sacrifices made by individuals who have given so much in service to our country.

Our flag does not belong to a political party or organization.

Old Glory belongs to all Americans and should be respected and flown in cities and towns across our nation.

As a salute to those who have served, take the flag you have sitting ion your closet and display it proudly. If you don’t have one, buy one that was made in the USA. I recommend our local flag company: saratogaflag.com.

If you have questions about how to display the red, white, and blue, go to: nationalflagfoundation.org
