Okay, so its different where you are. Thats fine.
Here, it shows respect, if done properly. When we lived in Arkansas, we had a 20ft pole and my husband faithfully raised and lowered our flag each day. In inclement weather, it didn't go up.
He did it because he spent his time in the Military, and our generation was taught the American flag is worthy of respect and being flown.
