When our class started talking about the American flag last week, I immediately thought of my boyfriend's house in Evanston. His family has a huge flag draped over the front porch. This picture is of the flag along with a United States Marine Corps sign on their lawn. In this situation, his family chooses to display the flag to show support for their son. They are not necessarily supportive of the war and US military but the flag represents their son's contribution to the United States. Especially because of the sign that says "THE PROUD FAMILY OF A U.S. MARINE" in bold letters, onlookers understand the reason behind this family's display of the American flag.
