Skins2881Nothing special for the fourth, she's always flying.
Almost had a tragedy two weeks ago in the storms. I got soaked head to to toe, but she never touched the ground. Replaced the hardware and got her back up a day or two later.
One more pic because I love the picture.

V-TailJesse -- do you fly the Betsy Ross flag every day?
Asking because I'm in the decision making mode. As part of our new landscaping, our handyman will be implanting a flag pole in concrete in our front yard. I was thinking of flying the current "standard" flag on a daily basis, and Betsy Ross on significant holidays like Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Veterans' Day, etc.

BIDEN SUCKS.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

I fly it every day. Next in line is 50 star, probably going to buy a Betsy with the 76 in the middle after the 50 star is faded, or maybe buy and use before the 50 star. I want a thin blue line one, but there's a good chance it will get stolen or spray painted where I live.
I change them out every 8 months or so, can't stand to see a faded flag. Even bought a new one for the kids of my neighbor that's father served and would have been ashamed to look down and see a faded flag in front of his house.

I fly our Betsy Ross flag only on Independence Day, the current flag on all others. This is also the only day I fly the Gadsden flag underneath.
On Memorial Day, Veterans Day and U.S. Armed Forces Day I substitute a U.S. Army flag for the State of Michigan flag underneath.

GrumpyBikerThis is one we fly on special days like this.

Sorry, I don't have one more recent, but I do have a brand new Flag up and it's a beauty.
