Thank you for your service to our country!
I too sewed on that flag to defend this great nation of ours (USAF 1987-1991). I was in for the first Gulf War. Part of what I signed up to do was to defend the people's right to protest, even if I thought they were a sack of <bleeped by me> and deserved to have one of the AWACS I worked on shoved up their <bleeped by me>. On more than one occasion I was confronted with people that were protesting the military in general and me in specific. They would use words that would make a sailor blush and accuse us of doing it for the oil, being a baby killer, etc. My normal response was to smile at them and wave as though they were good friends. I doubt if any of them understood my reaction but hopefully at least some finally figured out that I was happy they had the right to protest, even if what they were protesting were the very people that protected their right to protest in the first place.
Do I believe those that desecrate our flag are low life scum and have a special ring reserved for them in Dante's hell? You better believe it. Would I fight again to make sure they keep that right to be low life scum? You better believe it.
Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
