Our Flag may be flown at night only if fully illuminated.

Our Flag may be flown in inclement weather only if weather resistant fabric (e,g, nylon, not cotton)

Our Flag should be replaced when there is any visible damage or wear.

Flying our Flag at half-staff is only authorized by the order of the President or a Governor for the Governor's State and must be done as ordered.


This is about civilians, not military posts, ships at sea, combat areas, etc.

Dave,
Saw a great bumper sticker just today, "If you want to burn a flag, wrap yourself in it first."

re: hand over heart.

You guys are correct. It originally resembled the Nazi salute (as stated, actually called the Roman salute). The civilian salute was changed by President Roosevelt because it looked too much like the Nazi salute.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Rick Monday is still one of my heroes for tackling the dude trying to burn the flag.

At $4.53 a gallon, you're quite generous!

Another fun fact: The US Army's 45th Infantry Division had the swastika on their shoulder patch until 1939, when they changed the insignia to the Thunderbird. For some reason they figured it wouldn't be such a good idea to continue wearing the swastika.

I don't care if it's $10/gallon. Don't burn my flag!
