What a fantastic insult (I didn't mean that as sarcasm, I think it's hilarious).

Your guess is incorrect. When people lose a loved one, they are grieving and will choose to put up a flag if they want. It's not mandatory, it's not an award, and not given by the Pentagon.

It's a flag families put up when someone in the military, in their family, dies while deployed. A flag with a blue star means they are deployed, but alive.

The ads work pretty well. That's the point right? The ads?

My hobby is collecting hobbies. Under my desk at home is a pile of various "projects" most of which I cannot seem to finish.
