That’s the title of the piece I would write on Medium if I decided to post it there. Right now, I’m writing on another platform-which shall remain nameless. I don’t have to come up with titles, photos, I don’t have to tag anything, I just write. Maybe you’ve figured out…

I’ve never been a particularly patriotic individual, although I like a good stripe every now and then. I’m talking about wearing them, not displaying them. I do display them on the fourth of July, maybe Labor Day, mostly for the festiveness of it all more than anything. …
