There was a father on Facebook yesterday who patiently listened to his son as to the the reasons he was suspended from high school for not standing to salute the flag. The dad erupted and buried this child and let him know in no uncertain terms that while he was living under his roof he would in fact stand and say the pledge of allegiance with his classmates each day and the rites he thinks he has don't kick in until he is paying his own way. Trust me it took guts for this dad to say these words because to me it looked like this kid could have squashed him. I was so proud of the dad. The son was testing his boundaries and found he had some and the were tight.
As far as your Golf Cart Flag....I'm tired, it's been an emotional day, my old bosses 30 year old daughter died from a heroin overdose. She had been battling this for over 12 years. The first thought that came to my mind in the Flag Caper is an unemployed NFL quarterback who has no respect for our flag and has a whole lot of time on his hands. Stranger things have happened. I hope who ever did it owns up to it and replaces it for you. What a pinheaded thing to do.
