Boy, is this ever true. Just this morning while coming into work, I passed a semi with a large flag attached to a hand rail behind the cab, so the flag was flapping above the rear wheels of the tractor, in between the tractor and the trailer. The flag was faded, tattered, and filthy.
Some patriot! It was disgraceful. The worst part was this is hardly uncommon. I see a display like this several times a week.
By the end of a hot summer game, my hat is not where
I would choose to display our flag!
Since this is not mandantory until 2003, I think I'll try to wait it out and hope good sense prevails.
