Just a Flag....to the Obama's and some others maybe....but not to Americans. We see it as the symbol of our Nation and remember how it represents a nation forged by combat against an oppressive government....a war that made us very free people and gave birth to a Nation founded upon Individual Liberty.
Nope....not just a piece of Cloth folks....we see things a bit differently on this side of the Salt Water Divide.
That being said...we would be just as aghast at what happened had it been the Nigerian flag....well not actually,,,but bothered to some extent as we should all be at such a thing happening. Cannot they get something this simple....done properly?
