When flying the flag, show it some respect

I’m neither a flag waver nor flag flier, however in the after days of Flag Day, I’ve noticed some neglect with flying flags. There is an official Flag Etiquette that ought to be followed if one chooses to fly a flag in their yard or elsewhere. I see many flags looking like rags, tattered, bleached, frayed and generally ignored and neglected. If you want to display a flag, have respect for it and what it means to you.

I respectfully suggest that folks who choose to fly flags adhere to some principles of Flag Etiquette, or quit flying flags. Flag Etiquette rules can be read and reviewed on the internet, for those interested.
