Comment on Olive Branch MS mayor refusing to lower flag for Dolly
tal@lemmy.today 5 days ago
If I flew a flag, I wouldn’t personally lower it for Dolly Parton.
But I also wouldn’t be upset if someone else did (or if someone else chose not to do so).
I also wouldn’t lower such a personal flag for Donald Trump’s death, and US Flag Code does specify it on the death of people who have served as president. I don’t feel that he’s earned a salute of respect from me. That being said, I understand and would expect federal institutions and such that do follow US Flag Code to do so.
