Thank you for posting this, "Mac" -- I've been concerned about the misrepresentation of the flag since all this began. Yes, we want to display our colors, but, we should do it in a way that's respectful. Just like in the German Olympics prior to World War II. Hitler had asked everyone to "dip" their national flag as they passed the reviewing stand where he sat. Out of all of the nations that passed the stand, there was ONE flag that did not dip. I'll let you "guess" which one.
An interesting story...I didn't know that...

Anyway, if people have displayed or continue to display the flag incorrectly, I'm not about to get up in arms over it. There's a big, fat line between disrespect and simply not knowing.

I've seen flags displayed incorrectly for a week and a half now and they're flown with just as much pride as anyone else.
