Recently Hampshire College in Massachusetts made the unbelievable decision to not fly the American flag on their campus. They said it was offensive and could trigger hurtful feelings for some students and staff. Ummm... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same flag that adorns every military uniform, military aircraft, and every piece of military machinery? Isn't this the same flag that flies over every Navy vessel on the water? Isn't this the same flag that has graced the hull of every spacecraft our nation has ever launched? Isn't this the same flag that flies at every sports venue in the entire United States? Isn't this the same flag that our soldiers carried into battle and bled and died for? The answer to all those questions is yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
In response to this ludicrous, anti-American policy at Hampshire College, more than a thousand veterans swarmed the campus today proudly waving old glory. Can't you just hear these brave men and women now? "You refuse to fly a flag or two on your campus? Fine. Here's a thousand flags! Deal with it! God Bless America!"
God Bless America indeed! And God bless every man or woman who has ever served in our military, is currently serving, or ever will serve! Thank you all! I owe you a debt of gratitude!
I'll say it again. This is BEAUTIFUL! BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL!!!!!!
