Showing proper respect for our flag

Re “NRA raised $1.1 million in January”:

Whoever took the photo for this article evidently has no knowledge of respect for the flag of the United States of America. The flag should NOT be worn as a piece of clothing. Seeing how the flag is displayed shows how so many people have no knowledge of how display the flag.

Along with countless others I have served my country faithfully and am disheartened by the condition of flags I see displayed. When a flag becomes faded and/or worn it should be replaced, not left to rot in the elements.

"....I have never made it a consideration whether the subject was popular or unpopular, but whether it was right or wrong; for that which is right will become popular, and that which is wrong, though by mistake it may obtain the cry or fashion of the day, will soon lose the power of delusion, and sink into disesteem." Thomas Paine, Common Sense, on "Financing the War", March 5, 1782
