I have recently witnessed a great deal of patriotism expressed in the flying of our nation’s flag. I feel it is important at this time to remind people of the official flag protocol.

• If the flag is flown at night there should be a light shining on it.
• It should never be flown in the rain.
• It should not be worn as clothing.
• If it becomes faded or torn it should be taken to the nearest American Legion hall and appropriately cremated.

Let’s do our best to properly care for our flag, which so many of us veterans have fought for.
