Its kind of funny but probably 90% of the people who fly the flag don't do it properly. Not that I take issue with it, I apprciate that they do fly it, and they are flying it for all the right reasons, but most don't do it right.
How many who fly it take it down every night at Sundown....or have it illuminated with a light if they don't. Thats the proper way.
When we go to camp the boys raise the flag in the morning and lower it at sundown...with a proper ceremony.
i will tell you one thing that does drive me nuts are the people who have the multiple flags on their trucks driving around with them like they are the greatest american hero and the flags are all tattered and torn from them driving around like that.....the flag should never look like that....ever
