Well done Ozz! You WERE the calmer voice and handled the situation in an honorable manner - as opposed to your initial reaction, which I certainly don't blame you for. As a veteran of almost 25 years in the U.S. Navy (retired 3/1/91) and a recently retired school teacher (2/1/07 after 11.5 years), I can tell you that this anti-American flag attitude is alive and well in our public school children. We started each day with the pledge and it never ceased to amaze me how many kids would not stand or would stand with their hands in their pockets, etc. It made my blood boil!!! Unfortunately, there was little a teacher could do other than explain the finer points of flag etiquette and make it very clear how I felt about their attitude. Generally, that did improve thing some. Anyway, sorry about jumping up on my "soapbox".

Thanks again Ozz!
