Flying an American flag holds a lot more responsibility than just attaching Old Glory to a rope and hoisting it up a pole. That’s what gets Bill Murphy, a veteran and resident of Ocean View, so riled up when he drives by flag displays and believes they are improperly arranged.
- While true, be thankful they are at least flying the flag and not playing to some other agenda. — Howard Gaines III
- That’s what I say: Better flying wrong than not at all. — Bob Hice
- Improperly arranged, and at night, residential flags are rarely properly illuminated. — Jonathan Contant
- I’ve seen some local churches fly a religious flag over the American flag, and I always wonder what goes through the decision process to do that. — Dale Bert
- One should also illuminate flags if flying at night and use an all-weather flag if flying in inclement weather and replace torn and tattered flags. When hanging on a wall, the union goes in upper left corner. — Bob Hice
