Response from a disabled veteran regarding the flag controversy... [View all]

A friend of mine posted this on facebook today:

"I responded to a 'disrespectful to the flag/country' comment with this: You are also entitled to your opinion but consider this. My husband is a disabled veteran who fought and served proudly, but he says this 'I didn't fight for a flag, I didn't serve for a country...I fought and served for the people of this country; for their rights and freedom. It's not love of country or flag, it's love of its people.'"
