As a Life Member of the American Legion, the VFW, and many other organizations that participate in civic parades each year, I have witnessed a disturbing decline in the lack of proper respect shown towards our flag. People don't stand when the Stars & Bars pass by, they do not remove their hats or put their hands over their hearts, or quit drinking their beers or eating their hot dogs. What gives?

Beside a fire 4 ft high, this also burns my ass! Meaning the total lack of respect for Veterans, The country! Not taking your hat off during the Star Spangled Banner, Pledge of Allegiance and putting hand over your heart, and anything else I left out!

Many are ignorant. I stand tall at attention and place my right hand with hat over my heart. I love the National Ensign and will show proper respect. If anyone were to ask me why I do, which has never happened, I would explain proper respect of the flag. I guess too many people have not been instructed about proper flag etiquette.
