POW/MIA Flags on Sept 17th
As the Legion Post sergeant at arms, I will be driving around and checking to see where the POW/MIA flag is being displayed on the 17th. The federal law is very ambiguous and only specifically lists post offices. Does this mean the Park Service, Forest Service, etc. are not required to display the POW/MIA flag. Same goes for my state Washington. Washington State passed legislation in 2002 requiring all state agencies, institutions of higher education and every county, city and town to display the National League of Families POW/MIA flag, along with the state and national flags, on the same specified days. POW/MIA flag protocol is posted on the WDVA website at
l.
This wording seems to imply that other schools are not required to display. I know that no schools will have the POW/MIA flag. Even the local postmaster today told me that she didn't think the post office had a POW/MIA flag anymore. How about fire districts?
