Yes, I agree most people know very little about flag etiquette. I have an embarassing example from my past. I used to be president of the Brazos Valley Civil War Round Table (about 7 years ago). This group is made up of almost no women, mostly older vets, professors, and judges. These are people who have a major and vested interest in our country. Anyway, the country club where we held our meetings had staff that would "set up" the room for us. On this particular night the staff had put the Texas flag and the United States flag on the wrong sides of the room. I was horrified that I didn't even notice! One of the elderly members had to inform me of this gross "oversite". Needless to say that never happened again. But to think that this matter seems trivial to people is beyond my comprehension....it is after all a symbol....not just a bunch colored fabric.
