Memorial Day dissapointment

We enjoyed a nearly packed (approx 155 RV sites) Jellystone Park in Luray VA this weekend (Memorial Day weekend). However, while walking our dogs over the weekend we only came across 2 US and 1 Service flag displayed (and I had the service flag).
  • We too are at an rv park and as I look around I don't see any flags...except mine.

    I just don't see the patriotism that once use to be so prevalent. Shame. I think it's mostly because we have become so use to our country being at war and that we, who are not directly involved, don't see it as being real. War? What war?

  • We stayed the weekend at a place in Nebraska City, Victorian Acres. The property manages had flags at every site.

    Its one thing we've not brought with us, but will start setting the flag up in the near future.
  • Sorry to say, but today is seen as a holiday, instead of a day of remembrance.:(
    People look at it as another day off of work!

    Thank you for displaying your flag. We have ours out in front of the house every day...with a solar powered spot light on it!

    We've got a Nephew in the Air Force, so maybe it means a bit more to us....but it shouldn't, or rather, it should mean a lot to EVERYONE!!
  • I think you have experienced a statistical anomaly. Whether in a state park, private camp ground, or even dry camping on the beach, we typically see plenty of flags. No matter what the date.
