I haven’t posted one of these in a while. So, what is wrong with this picture? The flag is being carried by some great US marines in a parade. And let’s be clear, everyone involved is well-intentioned and I am not pointing things out to put down any individual. However, there is a Flag Code and what I’m abut to point out is quite clear.
The “Wrongs” of this Picture
Like I said in number one, the flag is not carried flat. Period. The other mistakes are merely incidental.

A comment on #2a; You state on the left side of photo. If the Marines were pallbearers, the canton over the deceased left shoulder, casket carried feet first, then wouldn't the canton be on right side of the photo?
Hello Mr. Krahn,
Thanks for the question- you are correct. Apparently I was mixed up and did not word that sentence properly. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
