'Because it is time we take back the flag. It’s meant to represent all of us, not just some.'
As I drive around town this week it’s refreshing to see our American flag displayed. I’m seeing it in places it hasn’t been all year. Of course, it’s being put out this week to honor our National holiday — it’s red, white, and blue, standing for a long weekend, BBQ, and family time.For many of us, it’s carefully folded and tucked away.
I become embarrassed when I see Americans roaming the streets, wearing it on their hats, T-shirts, and shorts in other countries. They don’t represent me.Like many recent retirees, I’ve delved into my ancestry. And there I’ve found a father who earned a Silver Star fighting for our flag. Farther back in the records is evidence of those who fought for the flag when the nation was being split in two by hatred and the “right” to own other human beings.
