I believe that we all do. We all have memories that cut deep to the heart. and when we see the flag on fire it feels like something burning inside of us. I remember what the flag meant to my mother. an immigrant from what is now Slovenia. who came to America speaking just a few words in English. When I was growing up. the American flag was always 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.
