I got burned out on going to meetings from when I was working. I am a life member for retired submarine sailors. I joined out of respect for a chief I sailed with, with the understanding, I would never attend meetings. I dont fly their burgee. I am also a life member of a professional arborist organization, out of respect for the over 20 years of being a professional forester, with the understanding, I would never go to meetings. I am a life member of a maritime museum bearing the family name, in Detroit. I dont fly their burgee. I have never gone to any of their meeting nor attended their formal dances. I belonged to a rather exclusive yacht club in Detroit and never flew their burgee. I dont even fly the family burgee.
Now someone suggests I fly the TF burgee? HA HA
Dont feel bad, I dont wear t-shirts with advertising on them or cute sayings.
I do not contribute to any non-profit or 'for profit' organizations where the CEO earns more than I do.
The only organization I contribute to is the Salvation Army. Each year, I buy 10 or 15 bikes for them to give to kids at Christmas time.
Finally, I buy hams and turkeys at Easter and Christmas for a VERY small church to give to the needy with the understanding, my name is never to be associated with the gifts. LOL I dont go to their church services either.
I am just a grumpy old man. pfpfpf
The only flag I fly proudly is the US flag. I am a proud citizen of the USA and a Veteran.
NEVER NEVER NEVER tell a Veteran, when the flag passes, he cannot salute the flag. Yup, maybe it's not 'correct' but, Veterans just do it. I guess you have to be Veteran to understand.
