I see our flag as a symbol of the hundreds of thousands that have gave the full measure of themselves for our freedom..Those that fought for civil rights for every American…I could go on but it means a lot to me

Burning, or damaging a flag in any other way does nothing to those thousands of sacrifices or your memory of those sacrifices. The symbol is not the symbolized.

Those people who gave their time, their blood and even their lives did not do so for the flag, they did it for the people who shared the same values.
