Trample MY Flag???

[unique]

My granddaughter is three.  When she was born, I decided to start a folder on my computer titled "Letters to my Granddaughter", where I could put not only letters that I right to her (in case I'm not around when she's older) but other bits of information that I think she should have.
I just put the reply from Tom about the meaning of the 13 folds in there.
Thanks Tom.

+1,  It will matter, to those who have to carry on after I'm (we're),  "not around"
Be sure to make back ups on disk.

I have 4 spiral journals, and disk's for my son, 13 years old, only child, and now that he's a little older, I am blessed everytime he reminds me of something I told him while he was growing up, He knows who Col. Jeff Cooper is, Massad Ayoob, Gen. Patton, "Teddy" Roosevelt, etc,... and will call you on violating any cardinal rule of firearms safety. (Better shot every damn year), I suspect with his eyes, he'll out shoot me with my own pistols here shortly. Of course its my full size 1911 he likes best.

He's undecided on his career when he "grows up" but is considering an engineering endeavor, or a fighter pilot. (He flies those flight simulator combat games better than me, shoots my ass down before I can even see em')

Sorry for the ramble, the point is to the original post of the flag. For those that are ignorant or oblivious to what our flag stands for, there will ALWAYS be some like the Veteran in the video, and my son,  that will call BS when they see a travesty to our true heritage as Americans. I fly a flag every day and bring it in at night, 4th of July is next week.......

I apologize again for the rant,  this video just kinda rubbed me the wrong way all weekend.

No apologies need here Tom.  Rants for what you believe in...what we all believe in are not only expected but required.  It keeps the faith strong!

Yes it did I had  I had got a email about it and sent it to some others and made a post of it here, I had to type it as I did not know how to post the email. If I can find how I will post as well.

I havent had a chance to read everyones replies on here, this is the first thread I opened up and looked at this morning and after seeing this video I wanted to post while emotion is still strong. So let me say that all the replies I did read were very nice. (most on page 4)

I sit here with a tear on my cheek,  I am someone deeply effected by this video as I am sure many of you are. For those of you that I have had a chance to get to know on here, know that I have been through alot and I am not that good at emotion. But something about this had sparked somthing deep inside me.

That woman (if you can call her that) with the short hair, is all that is wrong with America. She stands there like she is important and believes she is strong and doing the right thing, by disgracing someone that has done more in 5 min period for me and you, than that woman will ever do for us in her life. She stands there as this man shows the heart and soul of America and what we once were as a nation, and tells him she will have someone remove him from the premises thinking she is doing the right thing. She stands there with her hands folded and bids someone else to her dirty work. This image\video should be shown around the US to show what is wrong with America. You have one person who will stand up and fight for his rights and protect all whom he can (Action). And then you have him surrounded by people with hands folded saying something.(Words).

She is like so many people here in Washington State. That is why it hurts so bad. Cause I know exactly how that vet feels with her in front of him.

This man has bled and probably lost many friends in honor of this flag that he so rightly tries to protect. Yet some kid who has no idea what sacrifce even means stands on it with some stupid sign taped to his back. I wish that kid knew what that man represents and respected him. But he doesnt and I dont know how to help fix that. I am so sad that I cant even use words to describe the feelings I have. Why didnt that kids parents teach him or why hasnt a teacher influenced him? But then you look and see his teacher mocking the same man and I get so angry.

Sorry that last paragraph there is very uninteligent but I cant tell you how upset I am at that kid, and the problem is there is so many kids that I went to school with that would have done the same thing, the difference is I would be in the video punching the crap out of him.

Ksail,

You always say your not very good at communicating but I got to tell ya you usually hammer that nail prettty darn well.

One good point to this film was the one young man that came over, shook hands and stood shoulder to shoulder with the vet.  The cop didn't seem to be jumping at the chance to remove any one either.
