In 1916 Woodrow Wilson established June 14th as FLAG DAY.

As all of us know, the first American Flag was stitched by Betsy Ross in 1776 with 13 stars representing the 13 colonies. The 50th star was added on August 1959 when Hawaii became a state. If you would like to see the growth of the stars to our American Flag and learn more, you can do so HERE.
There is protocol when displaying the American Flag; the American Flag should be flown above all others and no other flag is to be hung above or to the right of the American Flag. The only exception would be at the United Nations headquarters.
Do you suppose no one in the Biden administration knows Flag protocol? Or is it something else? Somehow I feel guilty even posting this next photo as it is so disrespectful to our Flag. But in case you don't know what I'm referring to here it is.
God Bless America.
P.S. For those of you who want to remind me there was a U.S. Flag atop the White House, the fact still remains those three flags broke protocol. The American Flag still should have been displayed higher than the middle flag plus the pride flag was a flag to the right. All broken protocols regardless if an American Flag may have been above the White House. Let us not forget the disgrace of the trans person fondling themselves in front of the WH and on the WH lawn.

I was angered when I saw that picture of the White House yesterday. I do believe our administration believes they are above the law. Absolutely no respect for this great Land of ours. Shameful.
ReplyDeleteWhat gave them the right to make an affront to your American flag like that?
ReplyDeleteI'm at a lost for words. They are pushing the envelop much farther than they should have. Where will it all end? I'm not surprised that this was allowed to happen for obvious reasons. It's not good. God, we need you to intervene for your people.
My heart goes out to all those who hold dear to their hearts their American flag.
Hugs, Julia
I had not seen this and it is shameful!!!

OMG when I saw this I was so appalled and disgusted. I cannot believe how this administration is destroying us n every way possible. Shame on them and all you support them. Thank you for showing Polly's rug. Our children need to start saying this in school again. Janice
ReplyDeleteFly the American flag correctly or don’t fly it at all.
ReplyDeleteLove the Polly Minick flag...have toyed with the idea of doing it someday. As for the other part of your post....you really don't want to know what I really think (ok, you likely already do). At best, ignorance, at worst, intentional - in either case, unforgivable. They sent their message loud and clear. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteMisinformation. The picture you attached was misleadingly cropped. The actual picture shows the American flag flying atop the White House above the 3 flags shown below it. No violation of U.S. flag protocol occurred. Just hoping to set the record straight. Have a nice day. :)
ReplyDeletePerson who won't identify theirself....the fact still remains those three flags broke protocol. The American Flag was not displayed higher than the middle flag plus there was a flag to the right. All broken protocols regardless if an American Flag may have been above the White House. Let us not forget the disgrace of the trans person fondling themselves on the lawn.
DeleteThere was a flag flying atop of the building that day higher than the 3 flags shown in your picture!
