Retired Marine 1 -Flag Burner 0


It's the 4th of July weekend, how about some feel good news?

Apparently, in Far North Dallas a flag burner went on a rampage and burned a bunch of American flags, including one that flew in front of the home of Ed Jordan, retired USMC. Now that would not be feel good news at all of course but.....

This is...."Since writing the article, I've been contacted by soldiers, civilians, a flag manufacturer and the agent for Kid Rock -- all of whom want to help replace the burned flags. An Army veteran offered up an American flag he said had been flown over several camps and bases in Iraq."

Ah....YES! This is the America I knew and loved. Or know and love? Not so sure these days. But this kind of story does go far in showing that kindness, decency and the American way still exist.
