This stupid "Gold Fringe" thing is really getting tiresome. The gold fringe is just a decoration used on indoor and ceremonial flags. PERIOD Have you ever seen a flag with gold fringe flying from an outdoor pole at a government facility or building? A Navy or Coast Guard ship? The gold fringe means absolutely nothing beyond that that particular flag was intended for indoor display or ceremonial use only. The fringe would very quickly disappear if the flag were flown outdoors in the wind.

This is one subject that drives me nutz. Thanks for the simple and cogent explanation. Please keep it handy for the next zillion times this subject comes up as if it were a fringed flag flying over a brand new rabbit hole.

You two need to calm down.

Fringes mean things, and those things are not always apparent.

Here. Mrs Partridge will explain.
