I’ll be honest when I say I’m not. Use any excuse to get what I want. I tell you what you wanna hear. Hurting you is the only thing that I could do. And I tried to make a motive of good intention without attention. So I’ll have the best behavior. I’m not a savior. I have too many layers. And transpose the meaning, the meaning of all of this. Sorry I missed your call. Was it distress? If I reach past your smile, grab an SOS, do I shatter the illusion? Am I doing you a favor? Is there anything to salvage? Is there anything to savor? Am I wasting time that I don’t have? Convincing bystanders around us that it’s not that bad? Well, it’s pretty bad so head back home. Flip through a book and pick a god to thank you’re not alone. Narcissus broke a mirror and put the shards into his arm via hypodermic needle but it didn’t do him harm. A little self-reflection went a long, long way. Now he’s hiding in the cellar, scared to show the world his face. Well, I’ve never learned a lesson that I didn’t teach myself. I may have lost my shot at heaven, but I bored myself with hell.

My company recently opened a new facility in Charlotte and we would like to display the American flag along with a flag for each branch of our military service and a POW MIA flag. I have read online regarding etiquette, but one area so far I haven’t found an answer I am hoping you can help with.
We are planning to display the flags hanging from our ceiling. As our customers enter our front door the American flag will be in the far left position.
As I understand it, from left to right we should display in this order:
•America Flag
•Army
•Marine Corps
•Navy
•Air Force
•Coast Guard
Where in this order should the POW MIA flag be displayed?
i have a presentation in school about the history of the Marines and i would like to use a Marine Cor flag. in terms of folding the flag, is it the same as the American flag? and what other rules are there for display and carry? i really want to make sure that i am not doing anything wrong that could be taken as disrespectful.
Rooster, so if i don’t fold it(which was what i meant to ask is if it is folded) then how do i transport it to the presentation?
Or is it something were only Marines or ex Marines are allowed to use it?
