My next door neighbor to me is the stereotypical American. He works a 9-5 job, goes hunting occasionally, and loves American sports. Then only 2 months after 9/11 he bought an enourmous flagpole that is still outside his house. Every night, rain or shine, it is waving there with a spot light on it. But tonight when I took the photo, there was no rain and barely any light. This somehow made me think of the flag as America and how we are in a dark time in our history and how we do stand alone in the world. In the picture, you can barely make out the flag let alone the background. The only part of the flag that really sticks out is the stripes; the origional 13 states in all of their glory. It makes a person think that if our country went through a revolution where a bunch of farmers with rifles and pitchforks could beat the most powerful army in the world, then we can get through a war against a far weaker military and an economic crisis. Finally this photo reminds me that the light will always shine on the American flag and that there will be brighter times in the American future.
P.S sorry no photo yet, can't load onto comp
