They haven’t found the culprits yet who burned the U.S. and military flags of a former Marine in north Dallas this week.
But support and offers to replace the flags have poured in.
Avi Selk of the Dallas Morning News has the follow-up:
Our little story about a few front-porch flags that got burned in Far North Dallas has sparked a firestorm of attention since it ran on Tuesday.
The story, which my editor discovered from a single line in an obscure police report, (”UNK SUSP BURNED USA FLAG MOUNTED IN FRONT OF COMP RESIDENCE”) has also grabbed the attention of nearly every TV station in Dallas and the Associated Press. It’s also made the rounds on Twitter and caught the eye of conservative blogger Michelle Malkin.
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.
God Bless Texas. Pray for America.
Yes, God Bless Texas. Real Americans are truly great. The others who want to undermine this great nation can get the F out.
Michelle is supposed to be at the Dallas Tea Party on the 4th.
It’s supposed to be 104 degrees.
If she can go....so can I.

Maybe the flag manufacturer can make him a flame-retardant one. That’d be cool.
Maybe someone could loan this Marine a shotgun so he “could take out the trash” if they try to burn his flags again.
That'd be about 40% of the voters. I wish they would leave and take their messed-up families with them. But, they're hoping all the Change will mean 'we' must leave first 'cause they 'won'. And, they intend to make us uncomfortable. Very uncomfortable.
America is being looted by the Change Rioters. Using our wealth and stature they're building a Gravy Train like no other criminal marxist gang could ever dream of.
Their biggest problems are pesky veterans and gun owners who still 'pledge allegiance to the flag'. Their biggest mistake will be in thinking they can roll over these two groups in their quest to re-make Amerika.
Agree.
I really hated seeing Clinton on TV., never did I think he could be replaced and he sure has.
0, Pelosi and Reid are the worst we ever had. McCain and Graham are becoming as the three.
Starting to watch a nation get torn apart while the world laughs.

Lately I have been going to other news sites such as WaPo, Politico, ABC, etc to read the comment sections. Most of the comments are staggering. I guess I am insulated because I live in a conservative area and my friends are the same. The people that post are truly frightening. We have people in this country who have not one shred of appreciation for what this country was built on or what is stands for. I was raised in a traditional household and I am doing the same with my family, I really wonder how these people have come to be the way they are. They truly hate our culture and yet they are citizens. We have a bigger fight on our hands than just Obama.
