Being a Dodger fan, I feel sad that it was a couple left-coast idiots that felt it necessary to burn the flag.

I have always had a lot of respect for Rick Monday for taking the action he did. Not that he was in harms way, but he could have simply stood by and watched it happen. (probably without repercussion)

Nicely Done Rick Monday!

Well played, Rick Monday...well played!

Rick Monday is a former Marine - he did Marine Corps Reserve time after being in NROTC at college.

This flag went on tour a few years ago. I believe the patriot guard escorted it.

Too cool. How in the world have I never seen that play before? I must live under a rock.

I don't remember it happening back then. But good to see it after all these years!
Kind of like the video of the marine vet that cut down the flag that was hanging UNDER the Mexican flag a while back.

In the video, Mr. Monday says he still gets letters about it. How cool would it be for a bunch of us to send him our thanks?!
I'd be glad to pay the postage if anyone wants to send a pack of letters (and maybe some INGO swag) to express our thoughts.

Yes. I just found out my friend who rides Patriot Guard escorted this flag a few yrs. ago.
