I saw something today that brought a tear to my eye. I was having a wonderful ride, the weather was perfect. Then I was slowly riding through a nice neighborhood and saw a flag. I had to do a double take and turned around to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. Sure enough. You know how the American flag has red and white stripes with white stars on a blue background? Well this person had sewn black strips of fabric over the white stripes. I just sat there on the bike and felt a tear forming as I was looking at the flag. I told my son what I had seen. He also didn't like what they did and said even though it is wrong and that he can see how bad it hurt me, he reminded me that both he and I served proudly in the military to protect that person's right to deface the flag. He was right and that brought another tear.
