There are times when I am called back to this moment to reflect on my
country. Where we have come from since that day, where we are and where
we are headed to.
I believe that the time is once again upon us to save our flag. The
time is now, before those around us allow it to falter and become torn
and tattered and unrecognizable. There are many for whom the flag of
this nation means nothing. It means nothing because their heritage and
history means nothing.
They were never taught and they never learned of the sacrifices those
that went before us gave. They know not the name on walls or monuments,
or of the fields of stone that line this nation and the hallowed
grounds in other nations where they lay.
The things that make this nation great are many, but its flag and those
who protect it and preserve it and hold it high are one of the most
important realities that we as Americans should cherish.
Our sons and daughters and husbands and wives and brothers and sisters
are in harms way right now. They are there standing tall and hold that
flag up and carrying it forward. While once again there are many back
here at home, who would just as soon see it torn down and trampled.
Don't let that happen America. Don't allow our flag to falter and don't
let our countrymen down by failing to support them in their hour of
need. While our president dallies and vasillates back and forth, we
continue to have Americans in harms way. Let those warriors know that
you support them and let this president know that too. Let him know
that you will remember and that you will hold him and all of his ilk
accountable if they should choose to allow our flag to falter. But you
will especially hold them accountable if they betray the trust of those
who are presently laboring for our freedom.
