That soldier has got a lot of balls and for that I respect him :bravo:

No thanks my flag will be flown correctly until I the day I die.

Roger that.

What should I fly from my flag pole to show my disapproval for folks disrespecting the flag? I have a few ideas, but I'm pretty sure I'd be breaking the forum rules if I list them ;D

Flying an American flag upside down[edit]
Flying an American flag upside down is not necessarily meant as political protest. The practice has its origin in a distress signal; displaying a flag in this manner is "a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property";[77] it has been used by extension to make a statement about distress in civic, political, or other areas.

I actually said disrespecting, not desecrating. Flying a flag upside down is an SOS signal and should be used appropriately as such. It'd be smart to maintain a few universal lines of communication in case the morse code app on our cell phones fails... ::)
