The Flag ceremony at the Van Nuys Civic Center is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
Security is such that one can only speculate as to the overnight accommodations for the Stars and Stripes. The staff break room? The broom closet? The coat rack?
Jeez... that's pretty pathetic. We dont need the honor color guard or anything but a little more respect for the flag would definitely be n order. Especially at a major local government building? Wow...
As a service to constituents, U.S. senators and representatives can acquire flags that have been flown over the U.S. Capitol. With enough advance warning, citizens can request that flags be flown on a specific date. The cotton or nylon flags come with a certificate indicating the event commemorated and the date it was flown. Visit your Representative's or Senator's home page for pricing information. Most offer a flag order form under "constituent services."

I've always felt that proper flag-folding should be followed for any and all flags about to be hoisted.
Is there a website where someone can order free flags? I think there was one... I saw a government building that displayed a frayed flag.
