My dad did two tours of combat duty in WWII. He was on the Battan death march and had some unique yet honorable views. What is important is what a man does not what he says.
Standing for the flag has a long tradition. Our national anthem is a poem by Francis Scott Key. He was an Attorney who was sent to a British war ship in the war of 1812-essentially a second battle of separation from England. He was well treated by the ship captain and was told if the American Flag fell it wouldn't matter the war was over. When the battle was over they discovered the flag was held up by a dead soldier.
YES, WE SHOULD STAND FOR THE FLAG!
