Things I did and did not serve this country to protect. (I'll be kind and give a 'graphic' warning)

In the 'did' column is someone's right to respectfully kneel for the National Anthem.

In the 'did not' column would be someone turning the flag into a piece of apparel - particularly a 'banana hammock'.

I couldn't believe it.

People wearing flag pins or flag patches - nothing wrong with that.

People wearing things like flag swim suits or shorts? It's hard to refrain from calling them out.
