Well said Elaine.

I think the problem lies with the many veterans that are taught the
proper use of the flag and also taught that other uses are not
permitted and are showing disrespect to the flag and country. In todays
world, there are not as many veterans as there once
was, and even fewer veterans that are war survivors, thus you have fewer
people that are aware of "flag etique" and the
proper/improper uses of the flag. Yes, I know, there is nothing written
that says you can't make T-shirts, graphics, hats, etc. in
the image of the flag. But when your county's government taught the
proper uses back when, they did not foresee todays uses entering into
the picture, therefore did not include that in their "do not" statements.

I support the non use of the new graphic because of my knowledge of the
history of the flag and the flag, even though I think
it is a nice graphic; because of my loved ones that died fighting for
their country; and last but far from least, out of respect for all the
veterans of today - and because this can be offensive to them.
