Letter: Proudly show the colors
To the editor:
As America’s “most patriotic town” prepares to celebrate its 240th, it’s time to reflect on the stars and stripes that define us as a nation and the "land of the free and home of the brave.”
With that in mind, please show your respect for those men and women that served, continue to serve and most importantly those that made the ultimate sacrifice and are no longer with us to celebrate.
Please remove any torn, tattered, faded flags and bunting and drop them off at the dedicated box outside of Bristol’s town hall. And flags stuck in the ground, such as those along Hope Street, should never touch the ground.
We only get one first impression. As America’s Most Patriotic Town we should be setting the standards.
If you simply cannot comply with this request, please do not display the stars and stripes at all. Thank you.
Stand proud Bristol.
Paul J. Salesi
Senior Chief, USN (Ret)
Bristol
