Clarence Page’s commentary on flag burning (“New steps in the old flag-burning dance,” Commentary, July 15) was probably the most intelligent column I’ve ever read.

I think I’m the only member of the American Legion who is opposed to the Citizens Flag Alliance. How can an organization that maintains it upholds and defends the Constitution, as the Legion does, fight to squelch free speech. I served my country so people could have the freedom to speak out against the government, even by burning the flag.
