During the 1908 London Olympiad, Ralph Rose, a shot putter who immigrated to America from Ireland and proudly carried the American flag in the opening ceremony, refused to "dip" the flag as it passed by the reviewing stand where the International Olympic Committee officials and King Edward V of England were seated and proclaimed that "This flag dips before no earthly king!"
