I finally remembered what the other thing that occurred to me while I was watching the events of today unfold on TV.
Flag Etiquette.
As a variety of dignitaries were being seated (I think at this particular time it was members of the Senate) a particular man came our wearing the American flag. This is where I throw the foul flag! The American flag is not to be donned as a piece of clothing.

Yes, it's one of my many peeves coming from a military family. It also helped that my Civics teacher in high school went over this in great detail.
Hear Hear! Good for you. Too few people know flag etiquette: did you see the flags that people were hocking with text and Obama's face on them? Don't silence the flag etiquette voice!
ReplyDeleteI so agree! This is one of my pet peeves too. I especially hate when people leave up flags that are obviously too torn and/or when they leave a flag out at night not lit.
