Quote:I've been to many services where the presenting of Colors happened prior to the start of the service, and The Colors were retired at the conclusion of the service in true military fashion.  I will admit that it's unusual for The Pledge to be recited, but The Colors have always been displayed and a part of the ceremony.  This wasn't necessarily just for a celebration such as Veteran's Day, but also for weddings and funerals.


Weddings of servicemen and funerals for veterans does make sense as they are major life events/sacraments which are often tied to those services. I hadn't thought of that. I do remember that from my father's funeral. But certainly not your common Sunday service.
Only a chump boos the home team!
