Their actions are despicable and demeaning to us all. We all have memories that cut deep to the heart. and when we see a flag on fire it feels like something burning inside of us. I remember what the American flag meant to my mother. an immigrant from Yugoslavia who came here speaking just a few words in English. We always had a flag proudly displayed In our home because to my mother that flag meant the freedom of her new country. I have not forgotten my mothers pride. and even now the American flag. standing proudly by my desk. is the first thing I see when I go to work in the morning and the last thing I see when I leave to go home at night.
