And the American flag is not supposed to be used for a clothing item. Many hippies wearing it for patches on their jeans, especially in the butt, met with grief when a wandering Jarhead spotted it. My father, a WW2 vet, PERSONALLY threatened a few hippies in my presence when I was a youngster.

You can love the flag without wearing it.

So he made a mistake with the flag give him a break.. You know, my mom told me a story about how we had a few hippies drive into town from California when she was a kid. I guess they were suppose to be staying for a couple of weeks. The second the chief of police saw them walking outside, not really doing anything but standing around, he picked them up and threw them in jail for 2 night, then released them and told them to "get the hell out of here and never come back". Needless to say they left and haven't been back since.

That is how hippies should be treated!

I have a polo shirt with small American flags all over it. At least a representation of the flag with about 30 stars instead of fifty so it's not really the flag. I'm still waiting for the first complaint about it. I've had it about 3 years now, so far no takers. I've already got an answer prepared for the first person says something. It entails my Dad, his brothers, myself and my sons and many friends who have served under it, not to mention many friends who have been wounded and died under it. If anyone thinks I'm disrespecting the flag they've got another think coming.
