That’s right, the American flag was not dipped to the “royal” box during the 2012 Olympics Parade of Nations in London, England.
“Disrespect!” you say? Nonsense. Our Flag Code give us the guidance of not dipping the flag. Other countries are different and that’s fine. America not wiping the ground with Old Glory means we hold our flag in high esteem as the symbol of our nation.

Awesome!!!!
I'm so glad that Mariel didn't succumbed to those who don't care about our flag or traditions. I'm glad that she held that flag upright and proud. The way Americans should feel; and not given into socialistic pressures. Whether some people like it or not, we are AMERICANS and that makes us different from the rest of the world.
Thanks for the comment and the clear thinking, Ed!
