and retreat is the raising and the take down of the flag at the beginning and end of the day. I saw at this ritual the flag being raised to start the day and being taken down to end the day.

For the retreat I saw the Airmen take the flag down and fold it into a precisely folded neat flag, I than saw them march off with the flag to there heart again. I heard music during both…

Within the performance, Hughes uses the American flag in different contexts as a metaphor to explore its different symbolic uses. She typically deals out the metaphors with an unconcerned, dry amusement that is critical to providing the social commentary in each moment. For example, at the beginning, she talks about the outrage dealt when an artist installation of the American flag required people to step on it.

The Supreme Court case Texas v. Johnson was fought between the state of Texas and Gregory Lee Johnson over a right that Johnson claimed to be protected by the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
