The Future of our Country

Gary (Megan's Fiancee' and Beaumont's newest Firefighter) worked his shift at the FD last Thursday (3-1). It was Gary's turn to put the flags on the flagpole. He... put the U.S. flag up upside down. Apparently it stayed that way for about 6 hours until someone called the FD to ask if we (the United States) was under attack.

You see, the International Distress Signal is for a country's flag to fly upside down.

He told Megan the story, who told the spouse and I the story... so the next morning I got up to see this on Gary and Megan's bedroom door.






A closer up view:
I SWEAR Robby did it. I had nothing to do with it... REALLY! No, for real this time...

And he probably had plenty of reminders around him, on everyone else's uniforms! In January, at State Guard duty, when they were raising the colors, three sergeants managed to get the Texas flag flipped, even tho they had the miniature copy on their shoulders. Thankfully, they noticed their mistake before they left the flagpole. (Gary, hint: on Texas flag, white stripe goes up.)
