Happy Flag Day; Chicago Marathon Old Glory pic

Long may it wave. Today is Flag Day, and it's is the perfect day to salute, or heck, even smile at Old Glory.

Pictured is a runner near the end of last year's Chicago Marathon.

If you want to run around your neighborhood carrying the flag--make sure it doesn't touch the ground--well, that's awesome.
