Hi everyone, On one of our lists we are having a discussion of the new USGW logo at http://www.usgenweb.org/ You will notice that the logo is a US flag cut into the shape of the States. Some of us feel that it is a desecration of the US Flag, others think it's okay. I have had 7 servicemen contact me and they seem to be pretty steamed up about it. Out of curiosity I would like to know what the rest of you think about it. Any comments? Have you had any complaints about it? If so, how did you handle it? Karen Mitchell
What I see is the US geographical graphic of stars on a blue back ground and red and white stripes. This geographical graphic is from border to border and ocean to ocean. I cannot envision any desecration to the flag of the United States. What desecration is seeing the flag flying during a rain storm, worn as a shirt, as pants, as patches and in other numerous tasteless manners. We applaud those "patriotic Americans" who use the same type graphic " stars on blue back ground and the red and white stripes" to decorate the vehicles, motorcycles, those 18 wheelers, those rocks and lawns? Frankly, I was impressed. Glory Bee richhart@kingmanaz.net Jpvigil@aol.com wrote: > Without knowing what the complaint is, it is hard to respond. The "Flag" is > a symbol of the United States.
