Flag Etiquette
http://www.military.com/flag-day/flag-e ... donts.html
It does not offend me if someone flies a flag and doesn't necessarily know the decorum that is usual. It does bother me when they fly tattered flags. I don't know that flying a flag from the back of a firetruck or pickup meets my idea of patriotism or decorum but if properly displayed by standard rules I have no objection. I don't know though that this is an appropriate way to show our respect.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
I am older than you, when I learned it "under God" was not part of the pledge as it is now. I agree with everything you said.joe817 wrote:“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
THAT is the Pledge Of Allegiance I've said all my life, and That is the Pledge that will be said over my grave when I'm laid to rest. the Flag means a lot to me, as it does to many of us here. And whenever I see it, where ever it is, when I look at it I always feel pride, and thank God I live in this country.
I also pray to God that I may continue to be able do do so.

Re: American flags ordered removed from fire trucks
Do you think this is more a matter of decorum? Hanging an American flag on the back of a firetruck to me doesn't seem like the appropriate way to fly old glory.
