I own American Flags Cutlery, the only flag store in Ventura County

I own American Flags Cutlery, the only flag store in Ventura County.This recent Rosetta Stone V3 letter blamed the businesses that sells the flags for the Ventura County Government Center Veterans Memorial and says they are not keeping the proper sizes in stock.So, here’s the truth. American Flags Cutlery made a commitment eight years ago to supply flags for the Ventura County Government Center Veterans Memorial. We do that twice a year. We supply a 5-by-8-foot U.S. flag and a double-sided 4-by-6-foot POW/MIA flag, both of which are made in America by American workers. Those are the sizes that have been flown there as long as I can remember. These flags are supplied to the Disabled American Veterans, and they in turn put them up twice a year.I would invite the writer to stop in and see that there is always a 5-by-8-foot U.S. and 4-by-6-foot double-sided POW/MIA flag tucked away when it is needed by the DAV for its needs.Oh, by the way, those flags are given to the DAV free of charge. All costs are borne by American Flags Cutlery. This is our commitment to fly those colors constantly. We continue our commitment to provide flags for the Government Center even in this economic downturn.What happens at other locations is out of my control. However, if people come Rosetta Stone Hindi into my store, I will advise them of the proper display of the flag and selection of sizes.— Gary L. Parker, VenturaMissteps forgottenTuesday’s victories by the Republican Party tell me that my fellow Americans’ attention spans are getting shorter and shorter.It was only 10 months ago that we were talking about the country going into the worst depression in our history. And who put us there? The Republicans.When Barack Obama took office, he told us it would take at least two years before our economy would “normalize.” First, we’d have to stabilize the banking system so it could once again start loaning money to small businesses, followed by bringing down our high unemployment numbers. According to the latest factual information, he is right on schedule.In the past 10 months, Obama and the Democratic Party (with a few exceptions) attacked global warming, our dysfunctional healthcare system, two unpopular wars and almost everything Americans are supposed to care about. Rosetta Stone Korean During those same 10 months, the Republican Party’s only purpose was to say no to everything that would improve our lives and do everything to help bring down our government. It took eight years plus to get rid of all our laws that would have prevented corporations from getting us into this mess in the first place, thanks to the Republicans.Is our attention span that short that we no longer remember what our country was like before the Democrats got into office? According to the latest polls, independents are actually voting to put Republicans back [Rosetta Stone] in office again.
