Texas Ties - No. I believe there are two or three patriotic ties approved plus the company issued ties.

That's odd. You can wear a US Flag tie, but if you wear the tie flag of the state that you are a citizen of, you could get docked pay or disciplined?

I'd wear one from the state that you are a citizen of and when they write you up for it, sue for harassment.

Americans are residents of the state they are in. Unless, of course, you believe the South will do it again, live in Puerto Rico or are in the state of confusion.

BTW, at SWA Sue is a flight Attendant, not a way of communicating with the Company.


Ack!

Plain, blue tie guy.

This is one of my few posts, I try to stay out of the fray. I served my country. I am not, however really happy about the direction my beloved country has taken in the last 20 years or so. Tie, one each, zipper type, plain blue, nothing follows. I rode in a van for 20 or so minutes with the FA who supossedly owns the company that sells the "Patriotic ties." She is now on my personal "Banned-for-life list." If you really want to get technical, the stars and bars ARE NOT supposed to be worn as clothing, like a flag sweater, or a TIE. Look it up.

"the stars and bars ARE NOT supposed to be worn as clothing"


Do you mean the Stars and Stripes? I think the stars and bars(notice lower case) is the confederate flag.

It's a patriotic thing. Nothing more, nothing less.

Someone brought this up before. I think the consensus was that its an actual flag that is not supposed to be addorned.

Actually, you renounced your state citizenship when you entered into a contract with the federal government by applying for a "social security number". [maybe not, according to Amendment XIV, Section 1?]

And on the issue of communicating with the company, if they were to pay a woman more than you and told you not to worry about it because she was pretty and had blonde hair, you'd just take it like a man? Right?

The reason I ask, is because your employer is most definately cognizant of the fact that someone could sue for discrimination, so they pay mens and womens the same...not true?

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(f) The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. (j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

That is an actual flag.. with 13 strips and 50 stars. The SWA flag ties don't have these.

Not really. There's nothing wrong with patriotism, whether it be for the United States of America or one of the several states. You have dual citizenship here in these united sovereign states. It's a great thing, not a bad thing...and certainly not in the "wrong direction".

Does Indiana even have a flag??

Yes they do, but they share it with Iowa on the odd days of the month. Michigan gets it on certain holidays and the extra day in leap year.
 
I got a great flag tie at the Smithsonian a few years back, you might try their website. I used to get compliments on it left and right at ACA/Independence.
