I have been on duty numerous times watching "protestors" burn the American flag. I have buried coworkers and watched the flag folded and given to their loved ones. I also remember watching the coverage of 9/11 and feeling sick to my stomach.
The flag represents everything we love about our country and every person who has given their lives for our country, our respective communities.
Respect is taught is at home. It starts in the family, it starts with doing right by your family and your self.
