U.S. Flag Code

[jtomaha]

As a friendly, but important, reminder the US Flag should not touch the ground.

While researching, I was astonished to see how many listings for the flag include photos of the flag laid out on the floor for photos, or even outside on the grass/dirt. If you are not aware of U.S. Flag code, just read up a little bit before posting your flag for sale. You can also safely and respectfully dispose of your U.S. flag at the American Legion, VFW posts, as well as many governmental facilities.

Happy Listing!

Kat are you sure that's not a firefighters flag? They are black and flown when one dies.

I agree the American spirit is dying off, I currently will not display my flag, which i was proud to do before, but current situations are feeling more like an America i no longer recognize, I have it properly folded & stored & Hope that my feelings will change.

I'm with you.

I've taken down my American flag also.

I'm not feeling very proud right now.

As a matter of fact, i'm feeling downright embarrassed.

I'm waiting for US citizens to start flying their flags upside down.

It's coming.

So you both feel embarrassed,  folded and put away your flags, un-American,  not proud to be in the greatest nation on earth?

    Here's an idea, take a trip to Arlington National cemetery,  watch the guards than go visit section  60 and pay your respects to my nephew, a green beret who never got to see his son grow up. You'll see by the white headstones row after row that your freedom is not free, this is what it costs.

I did know that fact of not letting it touch the ground.  I still proudly display my American Flag.  Seeing it burnt and trampled is very distressing

I agree with you and am sorry for your nephews family.

I fly my American and MIA flag for all the world to see.  I served in Vietnam and my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren know how a flag is to be treated with respect.

They stop and and stand with their hands on their hearts any time the pledge of allegiance is said. 

And yes the cost of freedom is never free.

I looked at it carefully.  It's definitely a RED/WHITE/BLUE striped and starred American flag that is dyed black.  An anarchist symbol I think...I don't like it, but he does so what can I do.   (The 30s something guy is a hot head, so I don't bother him about it. Too scary.)   😶

You can buy them on Amazon, eBay, and elsewhere. One of the eBay listings shows 600+ sold.

Black American flag, no quarter given, no mercy, fight to the death, they are some of the older meanings.

Seems appropriate for the times.

Sad how a certain politician called fallen heroes "Suckers And Losers."

[seconhandrosie]

Sad when the president calls fallen heroes "Suckers And Losers."

[seconhandrosie]

You forgot "Death To Fascism."

I am well aware of our freedoms & the men & women who have sacrificed  for our freedoms, Both my grandfathers , my father, 3 uncles, 2 cousins have all served this country, So hop down from your high horse, This is not the same country

As secondhandrosie has posted, The man who has called our veterans suckers & losers you support that?, He has also unemployed a good portion of vets & cut their benefits, do you also support that?, This is no longer the country you speak about.
