Not covered in the “Respect for Flag” section; standing/kneeling/sitting. That’s considered a conduct violation, not disrespectful.

Nothing in the Flag Code explicit states you have to stand, just that you “should.” All the things I listed were outlined as disrespectful.

Especially the ones that attach them to car antennas until they're flapped to shreds.

Fire department members, Police or local town officials. Totally against all flag use codes yet done time and time again. When I think of my old friends, dead in Viet Nam, who never had such homage paid, yet see some local jerk politician honored with a flag at half mast it just burns me up.

I know this in off the topic of taking a knee for equal justice for blacks, but the reference to the flag code just sets me off.
