Jerry B. Willis (left) of Pelatchie displays an inverted American flag as he and Larry Martin of Smith County participate in a Mississippi Tea Party Rally Saturday morning at the Mississippi Fairgrounds in Jackson. Willis says that he is displaying the upside-down flag in accordance with a section of the U.S. Flag Code, which states, "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
