When I first moved to The Villages I decided to go to the target range for pistol shooting. It turned out to be a group of mostly veterans that were there that day. And far off in the distance we saw the American flag, way up high on a flag pole, flying upside down.
They got very angry and I tryed to calm them down by suggesting it might have been a mistake. But they wouldn't hear of it being a mistake by reason of dimentia or whatever. They said they would deal with it when they were through with target practice. That's all I know about it.
If it was done on purpose, what was the point of it? Why would someone have a flag and a flag pole and fly it upside down? What would they be trying to express?
