When your little freeper children WRITE on the FLAG, it is disrespectful. When your PRESIDENT writes on the FLAG it is down right DISGUSTING. The fact that you are "touched" by it shows nothing more than your IGNORANCE. The flag code:

http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#5

Sec. 8. — Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.

The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.

The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.

The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

THANK YOU FOR THE PHOTO AND CAPTION STEPHANIE! :hi:

[txindy]

16. Okay, the hands look old in that first photo, but.... What the heck?!

How was that person taught to hold a pen(cil)?! Is it steadier for older hands to hold it that way? I don't see how.

[Alamom]

18. Arthritis, maybe?

When my Grandmother's hands became badly crippled with arthritis, she held a pen in this manner..

[txindy]

19. Could be arthritis. But the hands indicate an age advanced enough to know

That writing on the flag is not acceptable! :grr:

23. I saw a someone throwing a tattered flag in a dumpster...

when I asked him why put it there, instead of burning it like he should, I was told that "burning flags is 'unamerican'" Oh, and putting the flag in a pile of shit isn't?

[troubleinwinter]

24. They don't care. Here's where he learned it:

Flag Code
Title 4, Chapter 1: The Flag
Section 8. j.

"No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume... The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing."
