R. veterans give their views on it, Even {f it was done thru ignorance, or otherwise, it shouldn't happen again, Why not send the ones responsibly a liftie booklet telling them how to raise the flag in the proper manner? While no damage was done, it surely was a “bonehead” trick, and the Janitor, or whoever did it should get baw led out. Reypectfully, READER.
