One wreath is from the House, one from the Senate, and one from the President! Protocol when a person lies in State in the Capitol Rotunda.

The flag is also drapped differently over the casket -- once again it is protocol.

Thanks all about the wreath protocol. Now, I am curious as to how the flag is draped differently in the rotunda?

I wish that the blathering commentators on all networks would spend a little more time in letting us know the history behind these ceremonies instead of filling the air with aimless gossip.

Thank goodness for FR!
