Jason Rimbaud Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 It is customary in America to lower our national flag in times of mourning a fallen President, natural disasters, or horrifying events. But did you know that there are four American Flags, in separate places, that are never lowered for any reason? This is done out of respect, these four places are held in such great esteem that lowering the flag at these particular places would diminish the memory of what transpired at that location. Can you name these four locations where our national flag is never lowered? Jason R. Link to comment
Trab Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Geez, Jason. I'm Canadian, eh. Like, how am I supposed to know that? I'll take a guess though. Arlington National Cemetery Pearl Harbour The U.N. Supreme Court Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Not bad Trab, you did get two of the four. Until others guess though, I won't be telling you which two are right, and which two are wrong. There are still two more out there. Jason R. Link to comment

Jason Rimbaud Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Okay, now there's three right answers out there. Just one more. Jason R. Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Err... South pole. Jase, I sent you some stuff, you can post it if you want after the quiz is done. Link to comment
Jason Rimbaud Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sometimes I really hate the internet. Google my ass. Thanks for the info Lugz. I think I shall post that once this is finished. Jason R. Link to comment
Oliver Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Google my ass. Why should we do that? Can't inmagine that can give me the right answers to this quiz.... (I guessed the cemetery and Pearl Harbor right, out of the first answers. And that for some stupid European......) Link to comment
Insomniac Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I say: The moon, since it can't be lowered USS Arizona aka Pearl Harbor Iwo Jima and Arlington National Cemetery I think the last three are becuase they are already at half-staff or something like that to honor those who died.

Googling my ass won't help with the answers. I made that statement after Lugz sent me some info debunking my little quiz. Jason R. Link to comment

Found the info I wanted and sent it to you, didn't want to post it and screw your test up. It was a eye opener, all the flag rules. Lugnutz> Jason Link to comment
