Stand for candy but not for the flag?
I just returned from the Fourth of July parade. Very few people stood up or covered their heart when the flag passed by. The veterans with the VFW were asking citizens to rise. Only candy or freebies prompted any rise. What happened to showing respect for our American flag?
