Why is the US Flag diplayed Upside Down?
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:
§ 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.
America is in a extreme danger to her life and property. Ask yourself how free are we really as an American people. How many times do you see our rights, guaranteed to us in the constitution, being violated everyday in the news. When will we as a people and country wake up and take back our rights? If it is not soon America as we once knew it will be dead and forgotten.
