So, is your point that two wrongs make a right? Or, if they do it, we can too? Or 3 rights make a left?

Sorry, DoWhat, but the flag is not there to cradle or protect us. It is our duty to cradle and protect the flag. People have the right to do what they wish with the stars and stripes, and people have the right to disagree with how they display such.
And that ain't bitching.

Let's put it this way... A family has a photo of their dead parents. It means the world to them because the love in that family was undefinable. It had a place of honor on a stand that belonged to the parents, with a candle and a cross. They revered the photo and it never moved except to dust it off and table it was on. They tell everyone how special the photo is; it's the very symbol of the strength of their family; and that's why it sits there. Someone comes along and moves the photo to the kitchen table where more people could see it. Their intentions were good because they wanted more people to see it; but the family is hugely offended that someone would have the nerve to move that photo from such a special place.
Was that 'someone' right or wrong for moving the photo?

PERFECT! Thank you for that awesome description.
The flag is not there to cradle or protect us, but it is our job to cradle and protect the flag.
The flag never dies. That is why it is never buried with the service member.
Yes, more than two and I know how to fold a flag.
Do you hang a flag at your house?

Oh for God's sake stop it . So I guess you don't want your children raise and protected in the cradle of democracy which is what people see when they look at that picture ,what are you a communist ?

lol.
A respected, accepted, honored military tradition for fallen warriors? Do you have a problem with that?
Yes, we do. And when it gets faded, tattered, or damaged, it gets "retired" and properly disposed of. How about you? Folding a flag is easy. Most people have no idea of what the flag is,. how many stripes, stars, what the colors represent, etc., until they look it up.
All you that like a cutsie picture, fine. It is still not proper.
No, and I respect all who have served.
But why have a flag in your shadow box?
It should be displayed properly.
I hope you have it illuminated at night. I'd hate to have the flag police come knocking at your door.
That was sarcasm, for those who will get their panties wadded.

To preserve it. I have my dad's funeral flag in a shadow box. I would never display it because I want to have it saved for future generations. The sun will zap a flag in no time. Also, in a shadow box it is still in the form it was presented to the family; a triangle. What exactly do you mean by displayed properly? Just wondering.
