[RC] Rules about the flag - k s swigartAngie said: There's lots of rules about our flag we don't know or follow but maybe we should. One of them is that it should not be worn (except as a small lapel pin or by military, police, firemen as a patch) or part of any clothing.:) Exact rule below. Putting the flag on the hat at all was a "violation" of the "flag code." However, it has been a long time since virtually anybody has followed THAT rule (although wearing the flag, like wearing advertising, is another one of those things that _I_ find extremely tacky :)). All those stars and stripes helmets that USET team members wear is a violation of the flag code, as is Heather Reynolds shirt that is in the pictures of her at Tevis last year. So, yeah, it has been a long time since virtually anybody has followed it. :) kat Orange County, Calif (PUBLIC LAW 94 - 344) Section: (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
