Theories abound about the flag, the fringe, the finial, and even the direction the flag is displayed. It’s a bit ridiculous.

During my tenure there, we fielded one of many color guards, this one for a change of command ceremony in a hangar on the flightline.
I received a message a short time ago regarding cadets taking part in the funeral of a civilian adult who was a member of Civil Air Patrol. This applies not only to CAP but also NSCC, and CGA (CGA has some interaction with the Sea Scout program).
