I try to always conclude sarcasm with ‘/s’
Real or not, a representation of the flag ought to be considered the flag. Many don’t get it ,
I get it-—Would wearing a hat with a cross on it be disrespectful or would depict my respect for Christ?
I look at it the opposite way-—a picture of a flag on my shirt or hat or whatever, shows my respect for what it stands for and not the actual flag. We wear items to show our support for the meaning behind it——I have a Jesus “fish” tattoo as a reminder of the Love of Christ and nothing else. On occasion, it sparks the conversation of what Christ has done! Without Christ the tattoo is meaningless, but it’s what it stands for means everything. Without those that died and spared everything is what’s behind the flag, but without them the flag means nothing.
The bottom line, is we both are passionate about respecting the flag——though different, we believe what the flag stands for deserves the utmost respect.
