There has been an increase of people that are destroying our flag. I can’t guess why they think they need to do that. Why do they choose the flag to protest?

They obviously aren’t veterans. As a matter of fact I think most veterans would like to show them what it is like to be in a war zone.

Hopefully our country will get away from being insane.

NEVER FORGET!!
