The kids who lived on the Navy base literally walked through the gate onto the high school campus. They had gone to different elementary schools and a different junior high than the townie kids. In high school we mingled and we raised the flag in the morning. When we lost one of our own during the Vietnam War we lowered the flag to half mast.
Those who join do the job asked of them, whether one agrees with that mission or not. The Army wears the flag on the right shoulder patch, and the left shoulder is left for unit patches. The canton is to the viewer's right, instead of the usual left, with the union closest to their heart. The highest position of honor is the front, so when displayed on a moving object like a person or vehicle, the field of blue is displayed to the front.
In town today we are flying the nation's flag, the state flag and the POW/MIA flag. Today is one of the six national observances for which Congress has ordered display of the POW/MIA flag. It has the motto: YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. What you can do here is let those now deployed know that we have not forgotten them.
