One of our great symbols is the American flag, 13 red and white stripes corresponding to the number of original states on a rectangular piece of color, one comer blue with 50 white stars for 50 states.
You see the flag everywhere now, "what so proudly we hail." It means the World Trade Center happened to all of us. "We’re proud to be Americans," say flags on front porches in small towns across the country. Some homes seem to have been built to fly the flag. This wouldn’t be complete without it; just perfect. "We’re American too," say the flags inelegant glued to the city apartment windows. The declaration of patriotic intent is everywhere, the simplest as persuasive as the displays where one was considered not enough. Rockefeller Center with 150 beauties is in show business, a stirring sight although it’s unlikely that management there loves our country more than the owner of the smallest business, displaying just one.
The Annin flag company makes most American flags. They have more business than they can do now. You don’t have to go to Annin to buy a flag though. Flag sales are a street comer cottage industry. Furtive operatives set up shops; to them the buck means more than the banner.
There are inevitably people who are more anxious to appear patriotic than to be patriotic. They treat a fine’ line between patriotism and commerce. The flag is everywhere in close proximity to a business interest. It sells shoes and shoe repair, women’s dresses. The American flag invites diners to foreign restaurants, Japanese, Italian, even Afghan.
This is how the star spangled banner was meant to be flown on the end of a pole of its own, free to wave majestically in our own free air.
