As Joe Barton once said, “Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders heros.” Our flag is not to be knelt upon, but to stand as one together, remembering how Veterans risked their lives everyday to go to war and give us freedom today. The least we can do is to thank you. You gave me a future, freedom of speech, and an education, and so many more things.
None of you deserve to be spat upon. You deserve to be honored.
Our Veterans fought for a reason, and it’s not so that we can dishonor our flag and country. It’s so that we can all proudly stand to our National Anthem as one unit. America’s gift to my generation is that we are independant.
