None of it is law and doing the opposite does not incur punishment or fines. <BR/><BR/>You are correct. The flag is not supposed to touch the ground according to the code. <BR/><BR/>I can tell that you realize that you do not have to be born in the US to ultimately become a citizen.Terri Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252743227474930359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-10044874773161125392009-03-24T07:07:00.000-04:002009-03-24T07:07:00.000-04:00Thank you for posting this photo.

I am only wondering if it is ok for the flag to be touching the ground at any time? (in my native country a flag that has touched ground can no longer be used and has to be replaced, officially)<BR/><BR/>I think they are as entitled to wear the flag over thei shoulders as any athlete etc. I have only seen one small discussion about this, where someone asked if these designers are American" as at leas Jason was not born in the USA. It left me wondering if the person asking is Native American, since with that logic Native Americans would be the only Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-40444904528435721532009-03-21T17:50:00.000-04:002009-03-21T17:50:00.000-04:00Thanks so much for posting this.

I would suppose the baby eating the flag and the dog wearing a flag bandana would be considered "unpatriotic" from those who were offended by Wu's quirky photograph. <BR/><BR/>Freedom of expression in this country is what makes us who we are. In the 70s, wearing clothing made of the U.S. flag was considered unpatriotic. Now one regularly sees clothing made of flags and no one flinches. ... Americans have every right to wear the flag, wave the flag, salute the flag, put the flag on their dolls, or, yes, burn the flag. Attempting to stop us from doing any of the above is the true meaning of unpatriotic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-42454706556250359572009-03-16T20:40:00.000-04:002009-03-16T20:40:00.000-04:00Well put, Terri.
