I love this and don't mean to throw cold water, but isn't writing on the flag defacing it? I am pretty sure we are not supposed to do that.

You are probably right. But I think the troops who see messages from their kids won't mind it this time. ;) It was their families that delivered it.

Doug, you are correct in your thoughts but I don't think that those that sacrificed their lives to have this flag flown will mind this time......

Absolutely...remember Larry Elder having to admit defeat to the criticism of "Super Glo" Allred?

But if it has writing on it, then it no longer is a true flag right? --Just trying to think like a liberal...

I'm a former boy scout and Air Force NCO ... yes, I believe you're right. The flag is never to be permanently altered in any way ... however ... our dear flag has been desecrated far worse than that by Camp Sheehan. There's no law ... it's simple honor, respect and decorum. I don't think many of us are offended by children writing notes of support to our military on her stripes.

I guess we will just have to consider it as art ;)

Perhaps extreme times call for extreme measures.

The children did not "write" on the flag.

They wrote stuff and drew pictures on small pieces of red & white cloth. Those pieces were sewn together to make the huge flag.

There are quite a few pictures of that flag on this thread. Seeing it in person gave me chills.
