America, warts and all, is still the greatest place on Earth to live. Our freedom is unparalleled, and the ultimate symbol of freedom is the American flag. That one rectangle of cloth symbolizes our freedom to travel at will, to seek out accomplishment and a better life, and to express ourselves peacefully without fear of official reprisal. We are even free to abuse the American flag. Fortunately we also have the freedom to protect the symbol that so many people have died to safeguard, instead of being forced to stand impotent and accept the abuse.
