My dad, an Army Vet, will not fly his upside down either. He does have a large black bow ribbon on the top of the staff however.
Not me. Flying the flag upside down is what Jon Cary’s communist sacks of crap, rat turd, lying weasel Winter Soldier weenies did.
I will not be associated with that rabble.
I’ll happily fly the Illinois flag upside-down. Not sure how to get one. Or a Kenyan flag.
We fly the Flag and the MIA/POW flag every day at our place ... it’s nice to see others around town doing the same as well as their service flags ... nice picture ....
My flag came down on June 12, 2008.
It now flies only on Memorial Day (half-staff until noon, full staff until sunset), Sept. 11th (half-staff all day) and Nov.11th (full staff all day).
“I wonder if it’s possible to buy an American flag with 13 stars.”

It is there now, it wasnt there when I posted.
If the 13 star flag becomes popular as a symbol of smaller, less intrusive government it’s only a matter of time before it’s branded as a symbol of a slave owning society of racist European expats.
Well said!!!!!
Thank you for your service to our nation.
Ditto.
Flying the flag upside down, to the military, is a visible sign of distress, not surrender.
“Will not fly my flag upside down.”
Me neither. Despite our current Obamanable period I am extremely proud to be an American. We’ve emerged from some very dark times in the past and will do so again.
Thanks Concho. Just wanted folks to know it was accessible. Take care.
Ok - to the military. What about civilians? Lots of people don’t know military protocol when it comes to our flag.
Honestly I wish that the American public would run an “Operation Out on your Ass” to this administration RIGHT NOW. This evil, wicked, treasonour Fraud is dismanteling America right under everyone’s noses. And he’s doing it fast. I don’t see How it will ever be repaired if it isn’t stopped soon. You can be sure that before the 2010 elections there will an elections Czar. All of this pesky voting stuff is being taken care of and “organized” now. This is very sad to watch. CO
And that’s what this clown is causing the country - Distress. Upside down is showing distress not disrespect. IMO, CO
