I look at your comment with mixed emotions. I was one of the many that followed that flag into the battles that gives you the right to speak your piece. I followed the 38 million Americans that gave their lives in WW 1 and the 85 million that we lost in WW 2. They were lost because they not only fought for their families, but yours and everyone else’s so we could be the closest thing to perfection and the most desired country in the history of the world to live in.

So the next time you look up at the flag on the pole, remember the price many paid to be here. And the cost of what it took to get here. I may not change your opinion with mine. But I gave it to you to maybe change your education. Just a piece of cloth? If you look close you’ll see the stains from the brave on it.

So as you pass it, lower your eyes. You don’t deserve it. You haven’t earned it yet.

Whoa whoa whoa, I put it in quotes because that’s what Michelle Obama said, I had assumed everyone here knew that.
