Letter by David Broyles of Sun City
When it comes to just about every subject, people want more.
You can fly the American flag.
But I want more, like the Arizona state flag. Okay, you can fly both. But I want more, like a military branch of service flag.
Okay, you can fly a military service flag, too.
But I want more because my spouse served in two branches of the service (for example, Army and Marines). Okay, you can fly both. But I want more because both spouses were in three branches of the service — and on and on it goes.
Pretty soon, there are as many flags flying from the poles as those signal flags on Navy ships because someone will always want more.
