paulandjean: I agree with you. I don't understand why this seems to upset so many. Do the complainers really believe that none of the others for whom the flag has been lowered had any personal faults? At the 1991 Super Bowl Whitney Houston sang what most regard as the most stirring rendition of our National Anthem, ever. In my book that alone should earn her this special honor. Does the American flag not belong to ALL American citizens?
