Must Treat Flag With Due Respect
Dear Mise Grey. Can I be punished for taking down the American flag on my own home. No one is liable for not flying the flag if he does not wish to do so. Everyone takes down the flag every night since Mag regulations prohibit leaving it out overnight. Only disrespectful treatment could make you liable for punishment. The flag is the emblem of our government and must be treated with the respect due the government itself.
