Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
I, for one, believe that our flag, pledge of allegiance and national anthem deserve honor and respect for the ideals they represent: equality, justice, liberty.
It is true that citizens of our country have not lived up to those ideals at all times. People cause our problems, not our symbols.
Our patriotic gestures and symbols represent what we should aspire to. That deserves honor and respect at all times.
— Susan Haley, Chicago
