“On agreeing to the Mills amendment (A014) Agreed to by recorded vote: 222 - 210 (Roll no. 253).”
This amendment prevents military base commanders from choosing to fly flags that are not officially authorized by the Department of Defense. It aims to ensure that only approved flags, such as the U.S. flag and military service flags, are displayed at military installations.
