If you live in Wisconsin - it was done by them.
I'd rather they did this
than to be out golfing on tax dollars though.
I went to a public school in Wisconsin. We were taught how to display
the flag in grade school (in the 70s). IMHO, anyone patriotic enough to
display the flag should be patriotic enough to take it down at night, to
keep it out of the rain, and to wrap it properly when it is disposed of.
It's not going to be a symbol that commands respect if US citizens don't
treat it with respect. Nobody here younger than 70 seems to be aware that
there are any guidelines at all.
If the Wisconsin DVA wants to let people know how it's done, that's fine
by me.
