That flag needs to be officially retired.

But Haros, a Vietnam veteran, told his son last September that he'd wave that flag until he comes home from Iraq.

And a promise is a promise.

"I made a promise to him that it won't come down until he's home," Haros told FOXNews.com on Tuesday. "Well, it's still there. I feel if I bring it down and something happens to him … I don't know."

Okay ... that changes everything. Yes, the flag is tattered and torn. But I can understand his point of view.

Actually, it’s a pretty fitting symbol of the state of our nation. Tattered and on it’s last legs.
