HistoricalDavid;

Am I right in thinking that you believe the vet was in the wrong for restoring the American flag to its rightful place? The Mexican flag flying over the American flag was illegal too.

This may sound stupid and elementary, but symbols matter because they stand for something. Things that are abstract, but they matter. Two things that are abstract include patriotism, and your concept of right and wrong. Those things are exactly what this heroic vet did. Stand up for what he believed was right, and his country. If only more people did it.
