Default Disrespect for our Flag

All over The Villages, I see our beautiful American flag on display in front of people's homes. However, leaving the flag on display at night is disrespectful and wrong according to the official protocol governing the display of the American flag. The flag is meant to be taken down at sunset. If it is left up, it must be properly lighted. It should also be taken down during stormy weather.
It hurts me to see the symbol of our great country used as a decoration and not treated with the respect it deserves.
