Hey get this...My hubby just left for work about an hour ago and he noticed a VFW Post did NOT have the flag at half staff. My hubby called me on his cell to let me know.
I called them and asked them why the flag was not at half staff and some b**ch while laughing said "their rope was broke!" I then said to her "don't you think you could get some American citizen to fix it for you, I am sure you would have no problem in doing that!" She then said real snobbish "I will try to get right on that!" and then she hung up on me!
That made me so angry I then called Washington D.C. HQ of the VFW and talked to the main person and told him what had happened and asked him if he could get someone to help them get it fixed so President Reagan could appropriately be honored. I reminded him that the President passed on Saturday and that the VFW Post had plenty of time to fix it. He seemed stunned by it. He wanted the post number and their phone number. If that flag is not at half staff within 24 hrs I will be calling someone to make sure it is done! I am soooooooooo mad!
Good for you!
Our was starting to get slightly worn, went and bought a new one Saturday morning, before President Reagan had passed away. It wasn't a premonition, even though we knew he had taken a turn for the worse. We were not thinking his death was that imminent. I had the strangest feeling about that when we hung it at half-staff that afternoon.
LOL....hubby says that sounds like something you(me) would do.....good job!
Keep us posted on what happens
Good for you. It's one thing to sit and gripe, another to actually get active.
You inspire all of us.
