Picture looks familiar…I gave it a ‘thumbs down’ the first time GA News published it back on 30 May 22. Let me repeat my reasons why:
“Although as a veteran, I appreciate the patriotic nod, there are Rules and Regulations concerning how the Stars & Stripes are treated.
USC TITLE 36, CHAPTER 10, PATRIOTIC CUSTOMS Sect 175: Position & Manner of Display;
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
This flag is clearly eating itself alive. Kind of like when folks cruise around with US flags flapping behind their pickup trucks as they disintegrate in the ‘relative wind’: Nice gesture, but not appropriate.”
Sorry if it angers the crowd; but just because it’s cool, doesn’t make it right.
