They sent an e-mail saying they wanted to honor the anniversary so they raised a new flag that day in Iraq and they're sending it to us.

What they were doing was extremely wrong as far as I was concerned, and to this day, I don't know what I was thinking except bowl them over.

It actually giggles at you as it goes by.

Whatever their protest was about, what they were attempting to do to the flag - which represents a lot of rights and freedoms that we all have - was wrong for a lot of reasons. Not only does it desecrate the flag, but it also desecrates the effort and the lives that have been laid down to protect those rights and freedoms for all of us.

The world has changed. But what those two were trying to do in 1976 was wrong, I mean just flat-out wrong. It was wrong then and as far as I'm concerned it's wrong now.

I was angry when I saw them start to do something to the flag, and I'm glad that I happened to be geographically close enough to do something about it.
