Living here in San Diego, I take my niece up to Disneyland quite often. I generally make it a point to watch their "Lowering of the Flag" ceremony where they have a band come out and former military members and lower the flag and fold it while playing the national anthem each time. It saddens me that 90 percent of the people walking around don't pay it any attention to it and don't stop and face it, or show any respect to it at all. And sometimes people will stop and place their hands over there heart and still chat with the buddy next to them with their hats still on. People need to show respect for the flag in my opinion, and it's said when they don't.
