That all makes sense. I think I've heard the part about it representing the hats worn in the revolutionary war before, maybe in elementary school or something. I originally got this as a forwarded email from my dad(who is religious) and I googled it finding this same ceremony on several pages. Really I just wanted to find out when the ceremony was originally popularized. But anyway, I found this site and the ceremony is deemed unconstitutional when used in official ceremonies, so that's good enough for me.

People should have the right to wave their own flag, yes, but when it is for protesting their rights, their rights in the US, it does seem pretty dumb to not be waving the US flag.
