I got up early to check on DGS and change his "puh-wups" (pullups) (diaper), and had this image of the Flag Police arresting a coffin for illegal flag draping because someone did not apply to a proper agency.
What's the penalty, do you think.
I went to this site of the VA:
http://www.cem.va.gov/bbene/bflags.asp
Here is a paragraph:
"The law allows us to issue one flag for a Veteran's funeral. We cannot replace it if it is lost, destroyed, or stolen. However, some Veterans' organizations or other community groups may be able to help you get another flag."
This tells me the flag does not have to come from the VA.
