A Proper US Flag Display Debate For Once |
2011-11-05 |
Arizona - A private group's plan to fly dozens of flags from light poles along Gilbert roadways has generated an impassioned debate about the nature of patriotism and proper flag etiquette, pitting the American Legion against the organization's efforts. Despite objections from the American Legion, which has more than 1,100 members in Gilbert, the Town Council on Thursday voted 6-0 to allow 32 flags to be posted near Town Hall and in one neighborhood. The Legion objects to the round-the-clock display and contends that the streetlights won't keep the flags properly illuminated at night. And no, zero, sneering liberal contempt or hatred of the flag was seen at all, which is as it should be. |

#1 Three senior NCO discussions you never want to become involved with, if you want to do anything constructive for the rest of the 1) Proper flag etiquette. 2) Tactics. 3) How much pension should a divorced military spouse get? |
