It is amazing how different two developed cultures (I'm hesitant to say superpowers) can be.

In America the flag is displayed with pride, it seems instilled in your people to honour your national colours.

In the UK you hardly ever see our flags displayed by homeowners, especially the St George's Cross. Our national symbol is taken as an entirely differnt symbol and it is something the people won't talk about let alone display.

I've said it on here before and I'll say it again, good on you for having pride in your homeland

I salute you!!!!
