I would greatly appreciate the feedback from those of you really knowledgable about the American Flag and what truly is a "Flag". Each year our business puts out hundreds of small plastic flags in the lawn around our building and each year at least one person complains that some have fallen to the ground. We pick them up each time we become aware that one falls but it's impossible to catch them before they fall. Today's complainer said "well then you just shouldn't put them out". I explained to her that the number of people who enjoy it far outnumber the complainers. Two of my employee's are Purple Heart reciepiants and they understand and support my position which is this: In my opinion the American Flag and the proper etiquite addresses flags which are raised and lowered on a flag pole. They do not apply to plastic flags, flag magnets, flags on clothing etc. Am I wrong on this? If you respond I would appreciate it if you let me know if what you are saying is your opinion or you have some sort of specific knowledge about what you state. I would greatly appreciate all opinions as it is certainly not my desire to be disrespectful. Thanks!
