[quote]QUOTE: While on the surface that argument has some merit, it does become necessary to question the flying of the flag in front of a business, or the wearing of the flag on a uniform other than public servants.[/quote] <br /> <br />I think there is a difference between a trademarked livery on a locomotive and a flag pole in front of a building. If I take a photograph of that Union Pacific locomotive with the flag applied to its trademarked livery and print it in a calendar, I must pay Union Pacific a fee for its use in the calendar. Now if I take a photo of their office building with the flag in front, no such fee needs to be paid to Union Pacific, because the building isn't covered in a trademarked livery. <br /> <br />As far as wearing a flag on a uniform its covered too, but it seems, its not enforced: <br /> <br />"The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations." <br /> <br />Anyway, just more of my thoughts on this... <br /> <br />Jim <br />
