For those who don't "get" the military angle of this patriotism, that is very sad. The symbolism and ceremony mean a lot. What did you want me to photograph.... a WWII tank or howitzer? While the weapons of war are obviously military, they don't carry the patriotic symbolism of a national flag.

So 22 people gave this a 3, 2, or 1. Clearly there are 22 trolls that have no idea what this ceremony actually is, and voted without thinking. I didn't vote in this, but I still really like this photo. Good job!
I am so glad that the flag is honored in such a way. I mean they could just throw them in the trash and be done with it. I think it shows respect for those who gave all for this great country.
