The United States is the only country that does not dip its flag to the host nation during the Parade of Nations at the Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
The Legend: During the 1908 London Games, American flag bearer Ralph Rose supposedly refused to dip the Stars and Stripes to King Edward VII, declaring, "This flag dips to no earthly king".
As fellow servants of God, thus shareing in the blessings of Peter, Paul and Mary (Luke 1:48, Luke 11:27-28, Luke 8:19-21) - adopted into the family of God (Ephesians 1:5-6) by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
As fellow servants of the Lord - looked upon with favor in our humble state of mind (Matthew 23:12) - we give Him alone the reverence that only He deserves (Revelation 22:8-9, Luke 4:8, Isaiah 42:8, etc.).
