Re: The U.S. Flag code: Standards of respect Thanks, tke711. I had forgotten a lot of these rules since I left the Navy.
Even though I'm a civilian now, I still want to salute the flag in the the military fashion. Is this wrong? If so, I'll salute it properly. |

I think you have to be in uniform. Otherwise it is a hand over the heart. I could be wrong though.

According to those at the VFW, as a Veteran you are allowed to salute the flag whenever you want, uniform or not- also in the regulation FM 22-5. Just in case for any of you that wanted to know

Thank you, Sydney078! For me, it just doesn't feel right saluting in the civilian way. I'm SO glad to hear this.  It's just another perk of having been in the military.  |

Denville, NJ | - The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.
Interesting ... MAYBE some should review their avatars.
And no flames please ... I didn't write the code.

No response to the above at all ?
Or is it dinner time ?
Or are you all busily changing your avatars ?
Or should not ALL the rules apply ?
I'd really be very interested in hearing from those that were so boisterous about following "The Rules"
What say you ?

Denville, NJ | I doubt it ... It's not in the section marked DISPLAYING THE FLAG OUTDOORS ... it's in the section marked STANDARDS OF RESPECT

The code is the guide for all handling and display of the Flag. It doesn't impose penalties for misuse of the flag. Actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.

Denville, NJ | No argument. I was just curious how if at all Avatars or other symbols for the flag played into this. I think Sydney set me straight.
