OK.. I believe I started this topic with my thread, "Mrs. Harvick and her !*#@!*! Hat." I'm ready to put it to bed.
Normally I don't bore people with verbatim cutting and pasting but I lifted this from the United States Code Title 1 Chapter 4 - The Flag:
§9. Conduct during hoisting, lowering or passing of flag During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in review, all persons present except those in uniform should face the flag and stand at attention with the right hand over the heart. Those present in uniform should render the military salute. When not in uniform, men should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Aliens should stand at attention. The salute to the flag in a moving column should be rendered at the moment the flag passes
It clearly says that
"Men" remove their hats. However, when this was written the only hats women wore in public were dress-type hats under styled hair. Wearing such hats required care to place upon the head to maintain the hairdo, plus a bevy of hat pins to keep said hat in place. A much classier time, to be sure, but that is merely my personal opinion.
Obviously the infamous Mrs Harvick wears no such hat to the races and the silly-looking ball cap she adorns herself with is not especially feminine nor is it held in place by more than one or two easily placed bobby pins. It could be removed and placed over her heart as easily as her husband does his.
While technically correct in wearing it during the presentation of colours and the National Anthem, her actions indicate a a
laissez-faire attitude toward patriotism and, to me, a lack of character. Such people just aren't worth the time and effort it take to complain about them.
