A student who held up her own American flag at a North Carolina campus Tuesday, after an anti-Israel mob desecrated an American flag flying on campus, said she would die for Old Glory.
Anti-Israel protesters targeted the American flag on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's quad — which had been flying at half-mast after four Charlotte officers were killed in the line of duty. At one point, they replaced it with a Palestinian flag – enraging students and inspiring members from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to take action.
"I definitely was emotionally a little bit shaken," said UNC student named Hailey, whose last name is being withheld for security reasons. "I was like, I cannot believe my eyes that we as a country are at a place where the American flag is being replaced by Palestinian flag. I was just in shock."
Until the flag was restored, Hailey and another student held up another American flag – so that there was always one waving on the campus quad despite the attempts from anti-Israel agitators to remove the symbol.
"I stood... holding an American flag as they were taking it down. It was the most shocking thing I think I have ever seen in my life," she said. "I just felt so patriotic. I felt so proud of my country and proud of the Americans who are standing beside me, who are holding the flag with me, who are willing to stand out and protect it. And like, I would give my life to protect that flag. I would give my life to protect America in a heartbeat. And. I was willing to do that that day."

Ich bin als Jäger in den Feldern, Wäldern und Bächen des atlantischen Kanadas aufgewachsen und habe mich nach einer Karriere in den USA auf einem 100 Hektar großen Gelände neben einem urzeitlichen nördlichen Baumwald zurückgezogen. Was mich beunruhigt, ist die Tatsache, dass die Sozialisten unsere Institutionen übernommen haben und zu Faschisten geworden sind. Während ich an meinem Bier nippe, frage ich mich, ob Amerika durch Wahlen oder durch Schlachten gerettet wird. Gegen die Bundesregierung kommt es zu einer gewaltigen Rebellion. Ich habe neulich in Maine einen jungen Menschen gesehen, der einen dunkelblauen Kapuzenpullover trug und auf dessen Rücken in großen gelben Druckbuchstaben stand: „ICH BIN KEIN FED.“ Vielleicht gibt es noch Hoffnung.
I might add that as I was answering your post, I was also having a nip of (Yuengling) beer.
Thats what most of Wagners music was about.
We will prevail.
