[QUOTE=ilvgolf;1575803]The President was only following protocol. Here it is: U.S. Flag Code states that flags be lowered "on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress."[/QUOTE
Actually he was disregarding his own actions on this honor along with time honored tradition in our country.
And if not for the tough worded letter from the American Legion today, it still would be at full
They also criticized his lack of proclamation.
The beginning of the letter....
"Dear President Trump,
The American Legion urges the White House to follow long-established protocol following the death of prominent government officials"
The letter then goes on, but I sure will have a deaf ear next time I am told I am disrespecting veterans or flags.
