The American flag is a powerful symbol of unity, freedom, and democracy. It represents the values and principles that our nation was founded upon. Understanding the history of the flag, including the design changes over time and the symbolism of the stars and stripes, can deepen our appreciation for what it stands for. Additionally, knowing the proper etiquette when handling and displaying the flag is important in showing respect for the symbol and all that it represents. This includes rules such as never letting the flag touch the ground, folding it properly when not in use, and displaying it at half-staff in times of mourning. By educating ourselves about the American flag's history and etiquette, we can demonstrate our appreciation for the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms and honor the values that make our country great. 🇺🇸‼️

I was a Program Analyst and you allowed your US Army #Colonel to wrongfully terminate my GS employment (on the spot)! #after I submitted a complaint. The EEOC refused to investigate engaging in #prohibited #peronnel #practices and should be under #investigation because this is direct violation in public law 115-73 Nondelegability of Authority for prohibited personnel actions. I’m also a veteran who served 8 years honorably in the Marine Corps GOOD JOB DOD🫡 cornered, chased, handcuffed and restrained, piss poor leadership. How well do you know your Stars and Stripes?
