Reflections on life, meaning and purpose

To Honor or Not to Honor the American Flag

Timothy A. Clary
American flags, across New York Bay from the Statue of Liberty, fly at half-mast at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, on May 25, 2022, as a mark of respect for the victims of the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

COMMENTARY: What the flag signifies is altogether distinguishable from what transpires in culture. Culture is one thing, what the flag represents is quite another.
