What is the meaning behind the American flag being placed like this ? .I always thought the flag should be flown or shown with the stars to my left & stripes to the right ?

The flag was flown on a mission and is certified and also came with a picture of the unit. Since this is not a memorial flag is it still proper to display the flag in the folded Triangle? It is 3 x 5ft nylon flag - I plan on getting a frame to display in the office with the certificate and picture but don't want to offend anyone - all the frames that I can find are labeled "Memorial" - I do not want to jinx her or her son.

Holst III Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:28:54 +0000 http://flags.me/?p=291#comment-359 I am Bill Holst, 57, and I am proud to be an American. I too, am tired of liberals trying to brainwash me into what to think, how to think, snd when to think. One great American patriot once said in a "farewell" speech. "Be wary, if you let "Government" get so large that it can take care of all your needs, then it can also take away all of your freedoms". I believe that Patriot was George Washington. By the way here is a question that is sure to stir up controversy, so here goes. I was alive in 1959, and as a grammer school student, we always celebrated George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's Birthdays as seperate National Holidays. Why did they "disappear"? Is today's "Presidents Day" just a little vague? I want America to recognize George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as the great American heros they are. So to my fellow patriot, Pete Smith, I say your feelings are. "Right On". I am Bill Holst, 57, and I am proud to be an American.
