If you re-read my post (quoted above) you should see that my explanation of flag etiquette is in defense of the American flag.

To run a political flag up the same pole is to hijack our American flag. I am tired of our American flag being hijacked — and that is what is happening.

I just looked more closely at the flag code which says, “The POW/MIA flag, a state flag, a US territories flag, and military flags can be displayed on the same pole as the American flag.” — but any other kind of flag does not belong there.

The flag we so often see here, sharing the pole with our American flag, is an advertisement — and that is a definite breach of flag etiquette which says, “It is never acceptable to fly a company flag, corporate banners, or any other form of branding/ advertising on the same pole as the American flag.”

While I am doing this little review here with you, how about let’s recite the Pledge together.........

And please do not forget that pesky part that says, “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Sincerely,
Betsy Ross Boomer

Your digression paragraph made me think you were saying something different than what you were actually saying so please accept my apology.

Is Betsy Ross Boomer your real name? If so what a great name.
