I approached the business owner, or manager, and asked if I could remove the flag to properly honor it by retiring the flag. The man I talked to was hesitant, so I went to my truck and gave him a $30.00 Rainbow wind sock, he then agreed to let me have the flag.
I removed it, took it to Port Isabel and handed it over to an American legion post. They assured me that the flag would be properly retired.
Sorry, Susie-Q, I didn't know where to find a Scout's location. I barely knew where the Legion was.
I am Stupefied, as Dr. Phil would say, as to why the thousands of people passing that flag would not take action, that doesn't speak very well of us as Americans, does it?
Pretty damn sad when you think about it. Those Legion members should be looking for things like that, instead of sitting on their A#*#$ drinking beer all day.
Oh well, sorry.
Our American Flag

Good job, Ozz.
You are right, it does not speak well of us as Americans. And, from what I read in our lousy paper, and what little I can stomach on national television, it's going to get lots worse before it gets better. I for one, do not understand the rampart anti Americanism that is everywhere, from the sorry media to the idiots in Hollywood. Where are the good guys in Hollywood...like PFC Lee Marvin, USMC...he's probably rolling over in his grave in Arlington National Cemetary.
