One thing I must note that I did not like was how the vet man handled the flag. You do not crumple the flag, You fold it properly, and treat it with respect.

Fair enough. I still can't believe someone would have balls enough to fly another countries flag above the one for the country they are living and doing business in....

I admire the old fart. That took guts.
Fly whatever flag you want on US soil. But if it'* flying with an american flag, it better be below it, or on another pole lower than the US flag.

Just seems weird that you can burn the flag, but not fly it under a different nation'* flag.

Here in Texas, since the State was originally a Republic, along with various other reasons, when Texas joined the US, it was allowed to fly its flag at equal mast. We cannot however, fly it above the stars and stripes.

I am a proud Canadian living in Texas. I don't fly the Canadian flag here because I feel its a sign of respect to fly only the flags of the country and state I live in.
Opinions are like azzholes, everybody has one. By the way, its DPnewfie not newfie.
