No respect for the flag
The displaying of ragged, frayed flags from hotel and public house rooftops is a common sight. The abuse of the tricolor as a decoration in shopfronts, souvenir shops and by the corporate sector to promote their products is a reflection of the society we live in.
The National Graves Association (NGA) has contacted the Government on the matter in the past. It would seem from the correspondence that the “who cares?” attitude also exists at the top.
The NGA believes that schools can play a role in teaching our children the importance of the flag. Perhaps then the tricolor will be cherished by all.
