This is the honor, courage and sacrifice for Country that Trump will never obtain.

We have a couple of those in our family.

Of course, that is the standard fold for storing a flag, but the first thing I thought of was the presentation at the gravesite.

Inspires me to take my dad's flag and take a picture on his behalf. He lived a long life, and never had a day of doubt rationalizing his respect for the military and his liberal views.

Plenty of minorities have served honorably and fought bravely for our country just to return home to experience racial discrimination and police brutality by people who feel better about themselves when stepping on the heads of someone else.
