I have noticed that at athletic events (baseball, football, basketball), NASCAR events and so on that people and participants no longer pay attention during the National anthem and the flag raising. The right hand is not placed over their heart in respect. During Parades as the flag passes, the majority of people do not stand to show respect for our flag. This bothers me. Most of us have had family members (uncles, brothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandfathers) who gave their life for this country. This disrespect has even carried over into the miltary and the wearing of the flag on their right shoulder. The flag is being worn backwards according to the published flag ettiquete because....now get this... the UN wanted them to!! What ever happened to the respect our flag used to receive?
