Well, I  thought I'd give them another chance (a couple of years having
passed since  I visited there) and how I regret it.>>>>>
 
I can only respond by saying
you have your choice of "Uff-da" or "Oy Vey."
 
It's easier to understand the ex-patriot sentiment that causes the  flag
drooped at the high altar with "My Country 'Tis of Thee." at TEC
Procathedral in Paris.  But Florida???
 
This probably has a military connection somehow, and I understand
that having worked at a VA hospital for 30 years.  I positively  bedeck
my house and property with Old Glory, and am perfectly happy with
singing patriotic songs ("American the Beautiful"/"My Country 'Tis of
Thee," etc.) in church on weekends near the big patriotic holidays, but I  
do 
draw the line at the flag on the Altar.  It seems a bit of confusing  State 
and
Faith.
