That Flag, the flag of another Nation may not even be flown on the same staff!!
11. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. The order of precedence for flags generally is National flags (US first, then others in alphabetical order in English), State (host state first, then others in the order of admission) and territories (Washington DC, Puerto Rico, etc.), Military (in order of establishment: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard), then other. |

its the same all over the world, the flag of the country of origin is always flown over others....does anyone know if the restaurant owner did it intentionally or was it an act of ignorance on his part??? Did the so-called hero talk to the restaurant owner first? Or just go ahead and put on a "Patriotic" show for his buddy to tape and put on the internet....? 
I kinda get the Feeling the Owner knew what he was doing by the way he acted in front of the Camera. |

What does that signify so pride inspiring? All flags should be hung together signifying solidarity, we should not be divisive but being conducive to togetherness. But if its in this country our flag should be on top! Does it really matter? As long as they are flown together is all that should matter, right? Wrong. You must not be an American American to the bone and I know that my country is my country, no flag position signifies my patriotism. My patriotism comes from my heart and soul no physical thing regardless to what it is is a measure of my patriotism to my country. I am not unsure of my patriotism so I do not need to exert it for it to be seen. Nor do I need to move or remove flags for my patriotism to be true, it is true no matter where the flag hangs. |

hard to tell what was going on....but one shouldnt jump to conclusions about people and their motivations without considering all sides to the story.

Just another excuse to bash an immigrant like Kenneth's "that explains a lot" quip. |

People come from other countries here to the United States and are so disrespectful. You know this is true |

Mexican flag in American classrooms
North High's foreign flag display violated the law - and temporary displays of foreign flags still do. "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100 percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else." - Theodore Roosevelt http://www.cairco.org/issues/flag.html |

Our nation reveres the flag, not out of a sense of unquestioning worship but out of a deep sense of our national heritage. Strengthened by our noble deeds, splendid accomplishments, and untold sacrifices, the flag reflects America's pledge to uphold democracy and work for peace throughout the world. It is America's strength in honor, as dignified in the stars and stripes of the flag, which helps to establish the moral character of our national foundation.
and why would anyone not know? It says it right here- "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." |
