I can only speak for Oklahoma Powwows and then too I may be corrected also
In my experience they look for Veterans first and dont typically seek out Firefighters
They do have alot of respect but if they had not served in the armed forces they are not Veterans.
Which is who we want to properly take care of the flag.
From the day we enter service, we are all taught how to take care of, respect and finally we draped with it when we are buried. That is a life long commitment.
Yes down here they look for combat veterans to carry the American flag and then just veterans if none around. Occasionally at big powwows will have all the different branch flags and I have had the honor to carry in the Navy Flag and the Oklahoma State Flag
