Honoring Our Veterans

Miscellaneous
21

Thank you to all who have served :us: :us:

Question to the VETERANS: Will it be inappropriate for me to fly the flag inverted on 11/11/21 to silently protest the mistreatment of your fellow VETERANS by this and past administrations as well as the current forced jabbing of today’s enlistees?

Having never served, other than being a 60’s Air Force brat, I thought asking those who made the sacrifice would be best qualified to provide their opinions.

That is certainly one way to protest, probably not the one I would pick. I’m all about respect for the Flag of The United States and the traditions of how it is to be displayed but hey, I fully support YOUR Freedom to speak out any way you see fit.

As said previously it’s a free Country.

However I personally would not conflate veterans with the sad state of our government.

Thank you for the concept of separation for current disgust with Brandon’s admin & saluting the Vets

Personally, I would fly it in the way it should be flown. Top of the pole, waving proudly. Alternately, rather than flying it upside down, you might consider flying it at half mast to honor the brothers and sisters who were wounded in action or made the ultimate sacrifice. The government as it is is unlikely to do this, but you could consider this as exercising your 1st Amendment Freedom of Speech (Expression) while showing that you honor and respect those who “Preserved, Protected, and Defended” your Freedom. Remember that, to properly fly the Flag at half mast, you must first run it up to the top of the pole, than lower it to half mast.
