As you can see, my home street is full of American flags!! Rare in America to have such pride, but on Dunhill Drive every house has had the flag up since 9/11. My house is the one with the Isuzu Rodeo w/ W04 sticker on the site. That's my mom's car. Next to it, you can see the Enterprise with darkly tinted windows.
