Who Answers in my Time of Need-9652 Explored

            This image was taken in Colorado near Black Canyon of The Gunnison. 
The American flag has always been a symbol of hope, a beacon of freedom. We ALL owe everything we have to the country that this flag represents. Every one of us, from the rich to the not so well off. When compared to poor in other nations the is no doubt that even our poor are well off.

It doesn't matter if you're a constitution supporting person like I am or a flag burning protester. I don't care who knows it and I'm prepared to defend my country, are you prepared to defend a country that you're burning it in effigy? Your right to burn the flag falls under the freedom of speech is protected by the 1st Amendment.  That amendment and all the rest are protected by the 2nd Amendment, AKA Bill Of Rights. I'll never condone it or like it but will support it because the Constitution allows for it. That is your right to do so.

Like it or not if you acted like this in China or Russia you're going to be carried off to whatever passes for prison, if you're not shot first. Not the case here. That is the story of this particular flag and what it said to me when I saw it standing proudly in that man's hay field in Western Colorado. 

I will answer in its time of need. I defended that flag and everything it stood for, good and bad, right and wrong for 30 years and am ready to do so again.
