I had the honor and privilege to clutch a folded US Flag to my chest several times during my Air Force career, just before I handed it to a loved one of the deceased. I love that flag just as much as our President and see nothing wrong with what he did.

I’ve not had the sad duty of handing over a flag that has draped a casket. Many times, I have carried the folded flag as part of a flag detail, either morning or evening. I am also reminded that I had a battalion commander who asked soldiers who were re-enlisting that they swear their oath while hold the flag that hung in his office. Cupp has no appreciation for any of this and that’s why she writes with such bliss...because she is simply ignorant of the meaning behind the flag for those who truly pledge allegiance to it with their very lives.
