The problem is there are no standards anymore. People are afraid of stepping on a persons toe's becuase they may get sued. It still urks me that the lady that hung the flag just laughed about it.
Being an Eagle Scout I have hung my fare share of flags and retired them as well, and I know on several occasions at the school there have been several organisations that have gone in and talked to the children about the Flag and what it stands for. My daughter has come home with al kinds of information ans boy when she gets fired up about something the questions fly so I have to be spot on on my answers, hehe As to the the post about it just being a flag, no it isnt just a flag. The American Flag stand for the struggles that this country has been through, granted not all of them glamourus but it is a symbol that is known through out the world ! It should be shown proper respect, not only because of what it stands for, but for all the men, woman and children that have fought for and grown with it.
As in most great nations they have there symbols and beliefs and those who decide to disrespect them, but in other countries it is a Crime where as here in the States, well you will get some dirty looks.
