El Paso Businesses That Are Patriotic 365 Days A Year

Every 4th of July, El Paso businesses break out their American flags in honor of our country's independence day. Some do it all day, everyday.

July 4th is America's birthday and the day we celebrate our independence as well as our freedom(s) and all that is great about the United States of America.

Flags are proudly flown and, for the day, everyone proudly displays their love of country. What about the rest of the year though?

All public institutions ... city hall buildings, post offices, courthouses, etc ... are required to fly the American flag. Other businesses can but many choose not to. That's their choice and most folks probably don't really think about or notice who does and doesn't.

I thought I would show some love to those places that are proud of their country everyday, not just the one that they get a day off for.

Granted, some businesses, for various reasons, can't fly the flag outside and choose some other way to display it inside. That's cool too and cheers to all those who proudly show their patriotism everyday.

There are rules when displaying "old glory" that some may not be aware of. They're not  "laws" so breaking them won't get you in trouble but you don't want to look dumb either so, keep these in mind:
