Val and MT Pockets, you guessed it.

Proper flag usage: http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html
Then click on the "Flag Code" http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html#5
Scroll down to "§8. Respect for Flag" and then a bit further to Line "D"

"The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general."
I emailed that reporter with some praise for that young girl wanting to stand up for the American flag, but that she overlooked some details on how the flag is to be used.
Am curious what response I'll get.
