bilmac - At least you had the gumption to leave a note. I would suggest you contact your US Senator & Representative. Hopefully the person in charge of the desert museum is just ignorant of a copy of proper US flag etiquette. Maybe you should send him a copy of proper US flag etiquette. I would hate to believe that a US government official is intentionally ignoring proper US flag etiquette. Failing that, write a letter to the local newspaper.
powderman - sorry to go off topic, my apologies to you sir!
