Yes, that’s what I’m referring to.

In peacetime, the flag is draped to expose the olive branch during a president’s speech.

When war is being declared, it’s draped to expose the arrows.

But it could be that it’s been that way since 9/11.

We could really use a protocols class, if you could sketch one together for us. All ears and eyes for you.

I’ve never heard that. I do know for a while in the past the Eagle faced the arrows, since Truman it’s faced the olive branch.
