It's symbolic.  In battle, the flag should always be visible to the troops as an inspiration, and an indication of where the front line is. If the flag bearer goes down, someone else immediately picks up the flag and carries it high.  So we carry that over into all displays of the flag.

JPB and Just are correct:  you must be either a US citizen or a legal permanent resident in order to serve in the US military.

It should be illegal. I always thought flags had to be in good condition to be "flying".

Display Indoors\nFrom a Staff in a Church or Public Auditorium on a Podium\nThe flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker (to the right of the audience). \n\nAre you aware that none less than FEDERAL law covers the handling and display of the flag?\n\nThe Flag Code\nTitle 4, United States Code, Chapter 1

The flag can be flown at half mast if someone dies.  It shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, I suppose you are right the Flag is the brand for that nation, unit, or cause.\n\nThis site covers the US Federal Flag Code:  http://www.usflag.org/uscode36.html#173\n\nUnlike a normal brand or logo which can be placed on almost anything their are specific rules on where the flag can be used.

It dosen't really matter but according to protocol it should be the branch of service. If none are available the branch that is nearist to the deceased gets the job.I have presented the flag to many widows and I was enlisted.  An officer should give the flag if it was another officer or  if enlisted the enlisted should give the flag to the next of kin.

No.  It's a fine rule to have.  It stops a foreigner coming here and "sleeping" for 20 years and taking control of one branch of the government.  Any foreign-born person interested in serving his or her adopted country has plenty of other opportunities to serve.

The odds are that there is more to this issue than just the tattoo.  I did a quick search and all of the branches just relaxed their standards.  What still holds is that it (a tattoo) can not be offensive to others in any way, it cannot be discriminatory to any person or group, it can not be gang or hate group related, and it can not be placed in a location that would bring discredit to the military.\n\nI don't know the Navy/Marine Corps or Air Force, but the Army policy is stated in AR 670-1, Chapter 1, section 1-8, sub section E, items 1-7.  It outlines all possible circumstances and how they are to be handled.

Here is a sampling of the information available at the web site listed below:\n\n\nThe "FLAG CODE" \n\n\nPrevious to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U. S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance. \n\nA few minor changes were made a year later during the Flag Day 1924 Conference, It was not until June 22, 1942 that Congress passed a joint resolution which was amended on December 22, 1942 to become Public Law 829; Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd session. Exact rules for use and display of the flag (36 U.S.C. 173-178) as well as associated sections (36 U.S.C. 171) Conduct during Playing of the National Anthem, (36 U.S.C. 172) the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and Manner of Delivery were included. \n\nThis code is the guide for all handling and display of the Stars and Stripes. It does not impose penalties for misuse of the United States Flag. That is left to the states and to the federal government for the District of Columbia. Each state has its own flag law. \n\nCriminal penalties for certain acts of desecration to the flag were contained in Title 18 of the United States Code prior to 1989. The Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson; June 21, 1989, held the statute unconstitutional. This statute was amended when the Flag Protection Act of 1989 (Oct. 28, 1989) imposed a fine and/or up to I year in prison for knowingly mutilating, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor or trampling upon any flag of the United States. The Flag Protection Act of 1989 was struck down by the Supreme Court decision, United States vs. Eichman, decided on June 11, 1990. \n\nWhile the Code empowers the President of the United States to alter, modify, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority to issue 'official' rulings legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code may continue to be made. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.

No other flag may be flown higher then the American flag. \n\nWhen flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace

i agree with you. unless maybe the person can't for a medical reason, etc. but other than that, yes. SHOW RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY! our brave soldiers are willing to go fight for america and risk their lives and some people in here are to lazy to get of their ass to pledge allegiance to the flag. i think its wrong. i will proudly stand for my country and do everything i can to support it.
