Letter: Comments on display of flag
The U.S. flag on Monday Night Football between the Cowboys and the Eagles was being displayed wrong on the backs of helmets. They were backwards.
And as long as I’m on the flag subject, let me say that Sen. Barack Obama does not impress me at all by refusing to put the U.S. flag on his lapel. Actions speak louder than words. So by his actions of refusing the flag in that manner I have no respect for the man.
The flag is a symbol that is felt, and denial of that sort makes him unworthy of the office he seeks. In Vietnam the sight of the flag gave me powerful support while in combat.
The flag is second to God, that’s how sacred our flag is. Ask anyone that’s been there, the flag even had a healing sensation when wrapped with it and would give us a rest and some good sleep.
Joe Urena,
