Great answer.

FWIW, I tend to agree with Irishmafia. I was brought up thinking the flag was special and to be treated almost as a holy object.

I still get uncomfortable when I see the ragged flags on antennas, or the unlit flags at night or those left up in the rain and especially the 23 torn and tattered flags surrounding the used car lot.

I also tend to think wearing them on any and everything not related to the US Government cheapens the flag.

BUT that's just my opinion.... I understand that some who wear the flag (despite the code) have good intentions.

Now, don't ask me my opinion of people hollaring, whistling and shouting during the last 8 measures of the Star Spangled Banner!!!
