Flag Day

*Happy Flag Day Today is Flag Day with protestors here I will not take down my Flag or cower in fear I will not apologize for being white Or an American Patriot, with my flag in sight I will not kneel to you, or submit No matter the threats in your violent fit I will not apologize for something "I" didn't do But, I will stand for my country, unlike you Heidi Sands 6/14/20

I'm with you all the way on this one. Living in Chicago, I have to lie low though. I really don't want to get murdered or anything, a distinct possibility for those who don't feel the need to dismantle the police. Thank ~ gw

No absolutely not Panagiota. People can choose what they want to do for Flag Day. Although, I hope it is not violent, etc. Thank you and you are welcome :) (by the way, when I said , unlike you, I meant toward the violent protestors, burning our flag and American things, etc)

Well said Heidi, You've certainly got nothing to apologise for, as you said you've done nothing wrong, I was brought to respect everyone regardless of what colour they are, one thing I do know there's good and bad in every colour. Tom
