Takes me back quite a few years.
When I was in school it was considered an honor to be chosen to raise and lower the flag before and after school.
Not everyone got the chance.

Exactly.

This photo would probably cause The Mooch to cringe in the corner of the room.

In the sixth grade I was captain of the school patrol.

We raised and lowered the flag and tended the road crossings including a four lane US highway!

At my grade school the Safety Patrol raised and lowered the flag every day and the captain and the Deputy did the honors.

In sixth grade I was the Captain so I had the honor to perform flag duties for the entire school year.
