Recovered from the WTC buildings ruins after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, the flags presence at the ceremony caused controversy between the American and International Olympic committees. The tattered flag was carried into the 19th Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony at Rice-Eccles stadium here Feb. 8 by eight athletes, escorted by New York City firefighters and Port Authority police.

Romney fought FOR the flag and the flag won.
Thanks for providing that. When I saw DPMD's statement, I thought that sounds like something the IOC would do - not something Romney would do.
