[quote:Anonymous Coward 6637105:MV8xNzI2NTE5XzI4NTc3MDg5X0Q0NzczNEQx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 6289134:MV8xNzI2NTE5XzI4NTc1MTk0XzE4MTZEQjkx] The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress: THE FLAG CODE Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10 As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress Approved July 7, 1976 § 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. Most individuals who have served in the military service of our nation will (or should) recognize this signal. As a result of the many traitors and enemies we as a free people have, both foreign and domestic, as a result of the many unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed against US citizens and their life, liberty and property, and as a result of policies that have allowed (and continue to allow) enemies of this nation to enter in large numbers through a porous border policy, I believe the life, liberty and property of US Citizens are in dire danger and distress.

Original Message
I delivered to a company that in the guard shack there was an upside down American Flag.
This was in AZ and the guard could barely speak English(no patriotism here)
The guard did not see me turn it right side up I thought about stealing it but I am not a thief.
I have contacted the company and told them what I saw and that it was unacceptable to me.
They are an American company doing business in America.
Their web site says "Celebrating 30 Years of Community Support"
I also told them that I may have to deliver there but I did not have to buy their product.
Also that next time I would take a picture and put it on the internet.
What do you think GLP?
