MacDonalds Corp. Franchisees disrespect U.S.FLAG Oakbrook, Illinois

Which part of the US Flag Code are security companies not respecting? The only possibilities I found were:

Section 8, Part D stating the flag should never be used as wearing apparel..which would obviously imply draping a flag over yourself as your soul form of attire.

or

Part I that states no part of the flag shall be used as part of a costume or athletic apparel.   However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen and members of other patriotic organizations.

The patch on a security uniform is not their sole apparel,.  Technically, based on the dictionary definition of costume, a uniform is a costume.  Society does not generally define them as such though.  But if you're going to complain based on a strict interpretation of the code, then only male firefighting and police personnel can wear the patch because it specified fireMEN and policeMEN.  Also, at the end of that same line is an exemption for members of patriotic organizations.  Why can't security companies be patriotic. 

I can see complaining about mistreating a flag but security companies wearing a flag patch...that's just ridiculous. 

Thank You Bob from Buffalo, you are correct if this is MacDonald's corporate flag?

Advertising and the Flag

I suggest you read the Federal Flag Code, Title 4 U.S.C. Chapter 1.

As long as the U.S. Flag is at the top of the pole/lanyard, this is acceptable.  Refer to 4 U.S.C. Chapter 1, Sections 7(c) and 7(f).

What I find troubling, is all the "private security" outfits that have the flag patch as part of their uniforms.
