Patriot’s Dream #79
Atlantic City, Wyoming
2022
Something about this sign you come across when you first enter Atlantic City, as well as the surrounding area, made me think that my ideas of what it means to love, honor, and respect the flag differs considerably from that of the sign’s owner. It’s certainly a more aggressive version of the “love it or leave it” epithet that was so popular in the ’60s and ’70s. At any rate, having felt so welcomed by the sign, we took a quick swing through this small, ugly town and then in fact got the hell out. I don’t miss them either.
