I agree with you guys that it is disrespectful, but are those even considered American Flags..?

They are very similar, but NOT EXACT, which i think constitutes them as being fake. (still shouldn't be stepped on by punk ass kids, but fake non the less)

 

They have the correct amount of stripes, but the stars are all fuked up.

 

A few of them were old versions of the flag. Ya know, before all 52 were states

 

 

52?

 

Did we add 2 more states to the Union while I was on vacation? ;)

Say what you will about "Freedom of speech" but I would be damned if I let a flag fly at night with out a light... Let alone walk by one laying on the ground and not pick it up-

 

Guess I would go to jail and be a law breaker, cause there is no way I would sit there and let them disrespect the flag and a vet...

 

 

Or let the flag of another country fly above ours.

 

I'd be right there with you Sid.

I am the flag of the United States of America

 

 

I am the flag of the United States of America.

My name is Old Glory.

I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.

I stand watch in America's halls of justice.

I fly majestically over institutions of learning.

I stand guard with power in the world.

Look up ... and see me.

 

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.

I stand for freedom.

I am confident.

I am arrogant.

I am proud.

 

When I am flown with my fellow banners,

my head is a little higher,

my colors a little truer.

 

I bow to no one!

I am recognized all over the world.

I am worshipped -- I am saluted.

I am loved -- I am revered.

I am respected -- and I am feared.

 

I have fought in every battle of every war

for more then 200 years.

I was flown at Valley Forge,

Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.

I was there at San Juan Hill,

the trenches of France,

in the Argonne Forest,

Anzio, Rome, and the beaches of Normandy.

Guam, Okinawa, Korea and

KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.

I was there.

 

I led my troops.

I was dirty, battleworn and tired,

but my soldiers cheered me

And I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled

on the streets of countries I have helped set free.

It does not hurt, for I am invincible.

 

I have been soiled upon, burned, torn

and trampled on the streets of my country.

And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.

But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.

 

I have slipped the bonds of Earth

and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space

from my vantage point on the moon.

I have borne silent witness

to all of America's finest hours.

But my finest hours are yet to come.

 

When I am torn into strips and used as bandages

for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,

When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,

Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent

at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.

 

My name is 'Old Glory'!

Long may I wave

o'er the land of the free

and the home of the brave.

I posted this story because I'm someone who said the Pledge of Allegiance, not as an early morning ritual at school, but as a pledge of my allegiance to my country. My kids know that when they hear the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem that they turn towards the flag with their hand over their heart and remain quite, as a way of showing their allegiance to this country.

 

Our flag is the greatest and most recognized symbol of the United States. I may not be military but I'll sure as hell defend my country what ever the cost. And if some son-of-a-bitch wants to lay my flag on the ground and walk on it, or fly my flag below the flag of another country, or burn my flag, then I'll step up and do what needs to be done to save my flag.

 

Freedom of speech has its limitations.

Amen brother!! Some people just don't give a shit about how much blood OUR flag has soaked up over the years. Who cares if thousands of sons, fathers, daughters, mothers, have died defending it? It doesn't affect me. Fucksticks. >:(
