I know what you're saying, "but Flag Day isn't until June, you're two months early." And to that I'd probably say, "you nerd, how do you know what month Flag Day is in," but I am no name-caller, so I offer you the example of Brooklyn, where it is flag day everyday.Unlike the slightly larger city of the same name in New York, which is famous for its bridge, Brooklyn, Iowa (an hour and fifteen minutes west of Iowa City on Interstate 80) is famous for its flags.
In a small park next to the town's public library flies a 20 foot by 38 foot American flag surrounded by all 50 state flags along with flags for the branches of the military and causes. 35 international flags line the downtown streets and nothing will make you feel dumber than asking a Brooklynite what state a certain flag downtown represents and he responds with Sweden and a sight
The town takes its nickname as the "Flag Community" seriously. A number of businesses have a flag in their logo or flying in front of their store. So a store selling flags in a town of just 1,367 really doesn't seem out of place. So if you're feeling a little patriotic head on out to Brooklyn where every day is a Flag Day Extravaganza (did you see how I brought everything together, damn I good)
