    I fly the Grand Old Flag every day during the daylight hours only and never in inclement weather.
    If you're gonna fly the flag, please do it right. Millions of brave Americans have died for our freedom and to keep this country strong.
    Are you familiar with this picture? Do you know where it was taken?

    I totally agree Twisted, that is an obvious display of disrespect IMO. But, what about this?

    Just thought I'd be non-biased.
    I agree that Old Glory should be flown in accordance to the above parameters. I'm just saying that the guy with the flag hangiing off the back of his 4x4 driving through town may NOT be being disrespectful, maybe he's just a little naive. The guy who forgets to take her down when it rains may not be disrespectful, just a little uneducated.
    I know we at the FD fly a flag on our trucks, maybe not following etiquette to a "T", but we're certainly not disprespectful of the way we fly her.
    I for one would rather see some 4x4'ing crazy mofo flying the flag full of pride for the USA and the flag, than someone NOT flying her because of lack of pride. Albeit, he may be "Not following the rules" cuz he didn't have a light on it or whatever, but at least the dude has American pride, and he can be educated as to the proper way to fly Old Glory.
    On the other hand, it'll be damn near impossible to change the views of other that refuse to fly :frown:

    There's no ground on an aircraft carrier, right?
    Also, technically speaking, I think that carrying the flag like that is against flag ettiquette (and they do that in parades too), right? (I'm not against displaying it that way but I think it violates flag ettiquette).

    Nope its called the flight deck.
    Flags are not suppose to touch the ground so no ettiquette rules are being broken that I can see.
    MissHBjet<~~ loves that pic, and the flag, and the Navy
