A Huntley letter to the editor: I have found the hill that I am willing to die on. My cause is the American flag. When Francis Scott Key penned The Star-Spangled Banner as he observed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, during the War of 1812, the flag became a majestic symbol of honor, perseverance and courage.
I have found the hill that I am willing to die on. My cause is the American flag. When Francis Scott Key penned The Star-Spangled Banner as he observed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, during the War of 1812, the flag became a majestic symbol of honor, perseverance and courage. That same flag still soars because of those attributes.
Sixty years later, whenever I see that pennant soaring in the wind, I visualize my grandfather riding his horse while charging an enemy machine-gun position in World War I. I visualize my father flying his P-47 fighter over the German skies eliminating military targets in World War II. I visualize my cousin standing his ground in the jungles of Vietnam while surrounded and outnumbered fighting for his life and of those around him.
Disagreements in politics, social agendas and religion can be discussed at a responsible level. Why can't a person like me be afforded the same luxury as others demand from me?
