[sbl]

Yep, a United States Marine saluting a vanity plate.

Maybe he thought the guy was Somali diplomat.

He pulled up to the guard and the Marine snapped to attention and waved him through. He wondered why he got a salute but pulled on through the gate.

After he spent some time there he returned to his car and noticed what had happend: his front license plate was the Bonny Blue Flag!

The Guard or MP may have been doing a Wave thru / Salute. When I was in the service the MP would do this kind of wave through which also was a salute so they would never miss saluting an officer.

lincolnsguard, Its a great idea just to adopt a new flag to wear, however, its a matter of principle. Whats to keep them from banning the new flags? Especially when their phony arguments and excuses can hold up all the way to the supreme court.

By all the folks using medical marijuana, maybe they will have a ADA grounds for complaint?

I worked with a Libertarian for 7 years. A very open minded man about such things as drugs and sex. A Vietnam era veteran as well. He used to bring in his REASON magazines for me to read.
