And Retreat is seconds away from being sounded. Sol Diers officers and enlisted alike Are making a mad dash for a door any door. Lord help them if they should be caught outside when Retreat and to the colors Are sounded they might have to stand at attention and Salute our Flag sadly what i i tvs just described happens everyday. Hallways and Foyers arc packed with people who Are 1 guess ashamed Loo Lazy or lacking in Pride logo outside and Salute the Flag that represents our nation. As soon As to the colors is ended a Teh All the door ways explode with people As they continue on Home or about their business i wish someone could Tell me Why so Many uni formed soldiers who serve for the purpose of defend ing our Flap and All it represents ire so unwilling to perform hits Small but very important and meaningful act of respect and Honor to our country saluting of the nag. 1 would think we All should be running out the doors so that we could pay 1 i but to our Flag. I be even heard soldiers around Retreat time state something like us of i m going to get caught outside in a truly regretful Lone of voice. How pathetic. These same people would not hesitate to stand in Long lines for hours sometimes fora ticket to a Ball game or concert but cod forbid if they should have to spend two pm much of their time saluting our Flag before they go Home. Ninety percent of the soldiers officers and enlisted i Nave observed for several months and have corrected much 10 their disgust on t know that they arc supposed to stand Al attention when Retreat is sounded and they Ore in uniform and not in forma Tion pm 22-5.
