Just to set the record straight.

This is Colin Powell's casket being taken into the church.
As you can see it does have a flag on it.
If this flag is ironed or not is up to you.
I have my opinion.
The drape with with the crosses was put over it because God comes before country.
This is a choice the family can make.
They made it.
Do not believe anyone unless you have done your own research, myself included.
May God give you wisdom.
