Pelosi gives Floyds brother folded American flag

[Della]

It depends. If Thelma (see above) is right then to me it's no big deal what Peloski did. It sounds like a flag that can be easily obtained. I do understand your POV. But in Floyd's case there was no color guard nor flag draped coffin? Now if the flag is specifically for war veterans then that's different. Idk. I googled but couldn't find an answer.

I can agree with that. I admit I have only seen them folded and presented to deceased people’s family because of military service. That is also how most flags from funerals are saved.

Even from what Thelma said i don’t think when you buy a flag it’s folded and given to you in the case that the brother received. Those wooden cases are what veterans flags are stored in.

When the flag is removed, it's folded like that. I know it's very common to see the flag case as a veterans thing, but it's used for other flags too. Although I agree this is probably a photo op.

Yes. The boy scouts are taught how to correctly fold a flag. I'd like to think Peloski was sincere but you're probably right. It's an election year.

That was what my first comment was based on. That’s the only reason I have seen them in those boxes. My dad bought one for me before he died for his flag.

My dads a veteran, so was his dad. And my grandfather in-law. I’m now the only child but when my sister was alive I was the oldest and if since my dads not married if my dad passes before my grandmother I’ll end up with the flag. I’ll have to get one of the cases for it. But he’s only 59 right now. I’ll have to figure out where to get one.

Shop around! The prices vary widely.

If it's Pelosi, it could easily be pandering for votes. That's pretty much what all of the politicians are doing and WILL do in an election year.

However, I don't see the big deal of his family receiving that flag. He was an American citizen, as I recall and as such, as a right (his family) to that flag.

And I come at this opinion as the daughter of an AF veteran. My late dad was an AF MP during the latter part of the Korean War. We had military style funeral for him in 94 and my Mom received the folded flag that had been draped on his coffin.

It was a photo op full of pandering for the black vote. Pelosi doesn't care about Floyd any more than she cares about the man in the moon. Twisted, nasty old woman.

They sell them on Amazon. Michaels also has them.
