The “Stars and Bars” is what the Confederate battle flag is called. I fly the American flag from my flag pole. I stay away from those who fly the Stars and Bars. I am not “offended” by the Stars and Bars, but as a proud American and a proud southerner I don’t want to have anything to do with those who fly a flag that represents armed rebellion against the country I love. Non of the many veterans in my family nor any of those I am close to who served when I was a military wife for a decade fly the Stars and Bars. We all fly the American flag.
