Flag Day Every Day 1 6, 8:14am

@Hinoron One way to legitimately get around those rules is to not use a complete, correct flag. If your T-shirt has white stars on a blue background on one shoulder, and red and white stripes in a wavy pattern as if rippling fabric on the rest, but the stars aren't a rectangle with exactly fifty stars in the designated pattern, then you aren't actually wearing the flag.

DisneyWorld uses this to get around flag rules for the dozens of flags on top of buildings there. There's *one* real American flag there, which they treat according to the code very carefully, raising and lowering it in a respectful ceremony, by a veteran or family member whenever possible. The rest are all missing stars or otherwise aren't actual American flags, so they can be left up at night or in bad weather.
