More On Respecting the Flag

Comments re article 52878 Geo Kolbenschlag Agrees with Larry Walker on flag etiquette

Reade Heskamp writes:
About once a year this subject comes up. There are a number of sources for information about FLAG ETIQUETTE. While they don't all agree 100%, there are a number of specific which are in agreement, among them: the flag should never be dirty and/or tattered, never flown after dark unless illuminated, never be used as a decoration on clothing or in any other way, never touch the ground.

It's so easy to get right. All you need to do is respect it, perhaps as much as you expect other people to respect you.

Reade Heskamp, ex of Coburg
Reade, we appreciate your consistent input on the matter. As with previous discussions about proper respect for the flag on ColumbiaMagazine.com, we strongly recommend the US Senate as the authority on questions about the flag.
