Veterans such as myself already know these facts.

And most Americans just see it as a day they don’t have to go to work.

I see the flag flying at half mast so often, I have no clue why and whatever!

[zeek]

I post something similar to this every year on my FB sites...Still not sure it gets thru....So tired of the almost automatic "thanks for your service" routine....

EDIT: Dont forget to fly your flags at half staff from sunrise till Noon on the 29th....

It's a shame a lot of people don't know these facts.....wait....shouldn't this be taught in our schools

[Vette40th]

Thnx. Many dont know, or care to know. Its the nature of the indoctrination/education society..

[jw38]

Amen...thank you.

Little known fact:
If you have a flag pole that you raise it on you must raise it to the top, lower it to haft staff for the day, then when you take it down you first raise it back to full staff then lower it all the way and fold it properly.

These days ought to be off-days for us, **** civilians. They can have their fudge_packing day.
