You Took Down My Flag?

The stories that have been coming out lately seem so unbelievable yet here is another one.The audacity of the enemy and their presumptuous nature seem to underestimate the courage and patriotism of the so called average person. Those that are stepping forward boldly proclaiming their rights as Americans to uphold our own laws and freedoms are the true heroes of our times. We can take strength from their experiences and hope to stand firm ourselves when the time comes and the time is now before it's too late.





President Woodrow Wilson, 1917
This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other character than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us — speaks to us of the past, or the men and women who went before us, and of the records they wrote upon it.

This is outrageous! It is not like she was holding a prayer meeting for the staff. This is the flag! If someone from another country is offended by that then why are they here?
