Yes sir, I have. Beautiful thing, isn’t she? Isn’t it amazing how so many different elements can come together, united, and form such a lovely finished piece of work. White stripes, red stripes, blue field and white stars….each different, yet each united for the common goal. Ol Glory would not be the same without all of those elements, coming together to form our flag…..the symbol of our United States. On Sept 12, 2001……….that flag brought us all together, one voice, in harmony, against the terrible attacks the day before. The flag is flying today at half mast, in honor of those lost and in sorrow for the attacks, and in shame for what we’ve become since then. It was only 8 years ago, people! How can we have forgotten the pride in America that we all filled ourselves with the next day? How can we forget how we all came together and rose above the horror? How can we forget that we are still fighting the elements that caused the awful horror on 9/11? How can we ignore the fact that since that day, we have not come under attack again, from outside forces? We have decided that internal fighting is more important than protecting our nation.
Yes sir. I have checked out my flag today. Tears came to my eyes. My son-in-law did two tours, SGT Kyle Hott, medic, 3RD Infantry Division, United States Army. He saw the good and the bad. He saw one of his own soldiers, another medic, shipped home in a casket. He knows, first hand, what that flag means. He knows what it takes to keep that flag flying over us. He knows what a perfect symbol, for an imperfect nation, that she is.
Yes sir. I checked out my flag today. She’s a beauty.
