I think we all know and care about the rules to always respect this symbol of our country that most of us love. Many of us were taught in Scouts the rules to handle the American Flag. Ours has become worn and isn't flying and is waiting in our closet for my husband to remember to take it to the fire station where we know it will be respectfully disposed of.

Most of us also remember to always say Thank you Ma'am or Sir for your service when we see those folks wearing a hat depicting their years of service.

I think sometimes that we must think and act with common sense so that we remind others that most American people are kind and responsible and law abiding and respectful of others.

I agree..... Thank you.
