    "Look up the flag code. Its not TOO long, but I think any american should know how to properly display their colors."

    Thats the problem Alpha. Not too many people in this country want to be Americans. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness usually corralates to "you owe me just beacuase I'm in this country". I'm very cynical towards alot of people after alot of years in the military especially towards those who do not have the intestinal fortitude to show proper reverance towards OUR colors.

We tried to take it down, but they had the base where the cords are mounted locked up. They finally took it down weeks later.

      call McDonald's coroporate headquarters or whatever next time you see that. Companies seem to be very willing to comply to complaints just about anything... especially something like that.

            Heh, I remember at my high school when one of my friends accidentally hung the flag upside down. People only realized it when someone driving by stopped to make sure everything was OK.

                Exactly. The flag on uniforms with the stars facing forward is to symbolize the army is always pushing forward, rather than retreating..

                  Maybe it was some Neo-con who thinks his government is in distress because he pays taxes

                  OR

                  Maybe it could be a Vet, who thinks out nation is in distress for becoming an aggressor

                  OR

                  Maybe a White supremist who believes our government is in extreme danger; as blacks are in positions of authority

                  OR

                  Maybe it was me, who is in great distress after reading your retarded comment
                  Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

                          As a former and current when break starts, Mcdonalds employee I'll let you in on a secret, the people that work for 6.50 a hour because there is nothing else local and consistant, generally don't give a quarter-pounder with cheese....hold the pickle... about the condition of the flag outside, and most of the general managers don't want to bother with the effort of changing the flags...mostly because of the overpriced flags from their providers (who they have to buy from). So it's not really a lack of patriotism but a excess of capitalism that drives the poor conditions of Mcdonalds flags.
                          Oh and the half mast thing I vaugely remember the corperation sending out a fax that said we were supose to hang the flag low, but it may have just been the mcdonalds flag.

                          ...And before any of you silly people want to call me unAmerican or whatever I almost got fired when I lowered the flag to half mast september 12th oh so long ago

                              Well, I know I drove past several McD's at that time, and about half had the corprate flag at half mast (thats fine by me) and the other half had the national ensign at half mast (unacceptable).

                                To wear our country's flag properly, the field of stars should be worn closest to your heart. Thus, if your patch is to be worn on your LEFT sleeve, use a left flag. For patches worn on your RIGHT sleeve, use a "right" or "reversed field" flag. Since the law does not specifically address the positioning of the patch, a decision is left to the discretion of the organization prescribing the wear. Some elect to use the "left" flag on both sleeves. [Note: many states and cities have ordinances pertaining to the use of the flag; you may wish to contact the Attorney General of your state or the City Attorney's office regarding this matter.] If you are planning to wear only one patch, it is recommended that you wear a "left" flag on your left sleeve. Military guidelines specify that in support of joint or multi-national operations, the "right" flag is worn on the right sleeve, 1/4" below the shoulder seam or 1/8" below any required unit patches.
                                Here you go regarding that issue.
