I've seen it a lot recently where people will fly the Flag upside down in the distress position including now with the pending results of the election. 4 U.S. Code § 8.Respect for flag states "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

I guess I understand that some folks feel like things are not right, but that isn't a reason for the sign of distress. I'm sure the election has left some people with a bad taste in their mouths. Still not appropriate.

SSG(P) (Join to see), as confusing as things currently are, I don’t think it’s appropriate to display the flag in a state of ‘distress’.,,just my two cents
