Why is the flag upside down?
The upside down flag is an international sign of distress.

Theodore Roosevelt on
Immigrants
and being an AMERICAN
My note: Doing the opposite
is a sure plan of destruction of this nation.... it is happening,
and most don't care to do anything!
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant
who comes here
in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us,
he shall
be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an
outrage
to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or
birthplace, or
origin. But. this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very
fact an
American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided
allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also,
isn't
an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American
flag ...
and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against
liberty
and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of
a nation
to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here,
and that
is the English language. And we have room for but one sole
loyalty, and
that is a loyalty to the American people."
