There are lots of regulations in the US regarding flag etiquette ie: the US flag has to fly above all others displayed, the US flag can't be flown in the ran, the flag should not be allowed to be draped over people or buildings, and the flag should not be allowed to touch the ground, etc. People in the armed forces are especially sensitive to adhering to these regulations and respecting the etiquette involved. My dad was in the Navy and he almost always takes the flag down if he knows it is going to rain. It's just a thing of respect, especially for vets, therefore I can understand why he did what he did. I probably would have asked the owner to fix it first though.
