The flag has been folded into the triangle for much longer than that. What I should have said is that I believe the idea came after the way the flag was folded, rather than the reason for 13 folds is that we had these points to symbolize. In any case, it should be up to the family to choose whether to have it or not, not some government official. Sorry, All, for not being clear in my original posting--it was a very long day. purplepeep, I didn’t mean that the explanation was made up this year, but I have only heard of it and seen it–at memorial services–in the past seven years, and I do not recall reading about it before then.
