At a campaign event at 11:00AM PST Boy Scouts will recycle 12,000 American Flags that were thrown in the trash after the democratic convention.
BOTH my brothers, 16 years apart, were altar boys and scouts. They both attained Eagle Scout and became good, hard working citizens.
God has been badgered in the last few years. How did it happen??
This is so cool!
The cheerleaders are adorable.
USA-Vote John McCain...Blue Red and White, Fight McCain Fight!
place is packed, asking people to step back.
You are never, never supposed to just throw the flags in the trash. Even flags that are worn should either be burned or recycled (see below), not trashed. But to trash perfectly good US flags shows the contempt the Democrats have for our country that the US flags symbolize.

The most common way to dispose or recycle unserviceable U.S. flags is by burning. The Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags was approved through Resolution No. 440 by the National Convention of The American Legion meeting in New York on September 20-23, 1937. At that time most American flags were made of cotton or wool. Today the vast majority of American flags are made of nylon or other petroleum-based materials.
Recycling - A Great Alternative
Recycling American flags is an acceptable alternative. Unfortunately, this respectful way of disposal has never been promoted.
Fortunately, a new nylon recycling process has been discovered that converts virtually 100% of a nylon flag back into virgin grade nylon material which can be made into another new American flag.
When it comes time to dispose of an American flag, you should have the right to select burning or recycling by marking the canvas header accordingly. American Flags Express is working with the American Legion and other organizations to make this choice possible. Nylon flags marked “RECYCLE†on the canvas header will be respectfully accumulated as are those to be burned. The resulting material will be targeted for the manufacturing of virgin nylon fabric for the exclusive use of making American flags.

Have they said how many are at the rally?
Well done!
Roger Hedgecock had this story on his Saturday national show about 10 minutes ago.
Watching it on a live stream now, on kktv.com, they just mentioned the rescued flags!
Those four pictures say “fail” on so many levels.
Yea, looks like they are using veterans to distribute the flags vice boy scouts, looks like I was misinformed, still cool though.
On FOX News right now.
Also on streaming video here:
How long before a Democrat lawsuit for unlawful removal of the flags from the Pepsico venue?
This is going to leave a mark!
They went to a new camera angle and now the sound is crap. Can barely hear it.
Try to reload the site - mine is coming in okay.
They're announcing McCain and Palin are 5 minutes away.
Hope the pubbies make sure all the flags are handled correctly after this rally.
You never know which people in the crowd are democrats doing a little recon, taping the speeches and looking for opportunities to do a little monkey business.
It’s what they do.
