Half Respect
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Everyday Americans go out from their homes to work or recreation.
|
|
As they drive around or take the bus to wherever, each and every one
|
|
of them pass the American flag. Some days the flag is waving proudly in the
|
|
air, almost shining in all of its glory. Other days it is at half mast,
|
|
showing silent respect for recently departed.
|
|
|
|
Think back to the last three times you passed a flag at half mast.
|
|
Can you remember who had recently passed in each case? Why was our glorius
|
|
flag flying at only half the distance it should be? Was it someone in the
|
|
military that had recently given their lives for their country? Or was it a
|
|
notable political figure that had served his or her country for many years?
|
|
Perhaps it was a respected actor or actress that had entertained our country
|
|
for years?
|
|
Odds are you can remember one, maybe two of the reasons. And in
|
|
each case it was someone well known, or someone in the military. Those
|
|
people performed a great service for us, and deserve our respect to varying
|
|
degrees. Who was it that caused the flag to go down when you can't remember
|
|
it? Does it matter any more to you? Probably not.
|
|
What about the masses of Americans that die every day, some for
|
|
noble causes, others ending a long and rewarding life.. thousands of
|
|
people every day that have done great things for our country, advanced
|
|
technology, helped cure ailments, taught the children of our society,
|
|
or other things. When are they honored by their fellow countrymen (and
|
|
women)? Are they even known about by others in their town or city?
|
|
Sure the newspaper will put them in the obituaries or write a brief
|
|
article about their life and accomplishments, but do they get the respect
|
|
and admiration they really deserve? No. They are no different than these
|
|
others that are honored nationally. The only difference lies in how many
|
|
people knew about him or her. That doesn't seem fair to me though, that
|
|
an actor who technically does nothing for the nation in the way of
|
|
advancements or whatnot, gets all this attention, while a teacher of
|
|
thirty years passes on without a 'thanks' or public attention.
|
|
|
|
Every day we should fly our flags at half mast. Every day, by
|
|
default we should honor those members of the silent masses who
|
|
have earned the respect of their peers. After that, when you pass a
|
|
flagpole and see it at half mast, you can think to yourself about all the
|
|
people that have made a difference along with any popular people that
|
|
have passed away.
|
|
Sometimes a great accomplishment will come along and everyone
|
|
will join for a day in appreciation of that event. Maybe a successful
|
|
space flight, a triumphant set of olympic games, or something else
|
|
will come along and cause us to celebrate and fly the flag at full
|
|
mast. Reverse the current situation of ignoring the masses, and move
|
|
to a state where we honor them everyday in this small way.
|
|
|
|
I don't know, maybe it is a crazy idea, or too depressing for the
|
|
masses. I'd like to think that it will bring a small sense of unity to
|
|
some individuals, help them understand the concept of respect and honor.
|
|
Its a shot in the dark, but maybe...just maybe...
