Are those special parade uniforms? I think I wore my blues once in 4 years. Are those guys all APs or just some volunteers?

[@AndrewVanLare]

Why didn't the other flag bearer dip the flag on the present?

[@alanmorford]

Andrew Van Lare because national flags do not dip.

[@AndrewVanLare]

Oh I couldn't see. What flag is that?

[@alanmorford]

Oh sorry I thought you were talking about the USA national flag. The blue on is the USAF departmental flag. See AFMAN 34-515 7.3.2. Only dip non-national flags at the appropriate times, i.e. during the playing of national anthems, muffled ruffles, Taps etc. Refer to AFI 34-1201, paragraph 2.22.9. for specifics on dipping the USAF Departmental Flag. NOTE: If the Pledge of Allegiance is given after the playing of the National Anthem then the NCT will give the subdued command Bearers, Ready, TWO to return the USAF Flag to port or right shoulder. The USAF Flag will not be dipped during the Pledge of Allegiance.

[@AndrewVanLare]

I thought you still dipped the departmental flag at a present. They're even lower than state flags and you dip those on a present. This is weird

[@alanmorford]

You do dip the flag for present but only under certain circumstances. I followed the reference for you... 2.22.8. The Air Force departmental flag is an organizational flag and is dipped while the national anthem, “To The Color,” musical honors for CSAF or higher, or a foreign national anthem is played. The Departmental Flag is also dipped when rendering honors to the SecAF, the CSAF, their direct representative, or any government official of equivalent or higher grade, including foreign dignitaries, and during a pass in review. Additionally, the departmental flag and other subordinate flags will be dipped during military funeral honors. This includes the movement and transfer of the remains, the playing of “muffled ruffles” and Taps. The departmental flag will not be dipped under any other circumstances.

[@colleenw8756]

This is the USA I used to admire. Trumps America I'm thankful is not my country. He's sad. The country I once thought so much of doesn't exist. I'm glad I'm old - very worried about my younger generation .

[@FlyDog79]

More sad now than ever.

[@bigdee8189]

Colleen...I'm very glad that this isn't your country either!! You don't deserve to live here! I hope you enjoy your shithole country, because I love my United States of America, even though we have an incompetent moron (LYIN Joe Biden) "running" it!! I'm glad you're old too!

[@colleenw8756]

Big Dee. You don't deserve to live in my country. To think that USA is supposed to be leader of the free world, is a disgrace. What a shame democracy doesn't exist there either. So much more I could say but it would mean nothing to you.

[@bigdee8189]

@@colleenw8756 - 🤣🤣🤣. Great... because you certainly don't deserve to live in MY country, the U.S. of A!! I guarantee YOUR country is a disgrace, and begs MY country for money constantly AND begs us for military protection!! There's nothing you could say that I would give a $hit about!! Conversation over!!

[@colleenw8756]

@@bigdee8189 Have you ever thought to ask the veterans who gave their lives/sanity and family over many wars to keep you and your family etc safe. Bet not. You seem very self centred. Maybe you should make the effort to talk - very nicely and listen - to veterans. You may learn a thing or 2. No one will hold their breath as you are very self absorbed. God Bless all veterans.
