(I had to repost this because of the recent flag controversy at UC Irvine)
First posted 12/3/14


Couples who get married make a pledge; to honor their partner for life. To be by their side in sickness and in health, to never violate their trust and to be the best person they can be so that their strength comes from both of them being better as a unit, especially for their kids, than either one could be as an individual.

From that pledge comes Marriage. The institution we, as a civilization, have entrusted to raise our children and to promote the human race. Great idea.

As a small child, I remember standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school. I was as proud to say it then as I am now. In fact, it puts a chill in my bones even today when a large public event recites the Pledge. It means a lot to me.

My point is, we made a solemn promise. Just like a married couple, we promised to be allegiant to our Flag (as a symbol of our Country), and in recent years we seem to have let our commitment slip. Not by giving up our citizenship, but by neglecting to protect the things it stands for, and letting people desecrate it under the guise of political free speech.

I am ashamed of myself and my fellow Americans. We have let our 'marriage' to our Flag and our country become estranged.

Do we have irreconcilable differences? I hope not.....

As I watch the young people of the University of Irvine (or Ferguson Missouri ) ban the US Flag because it might OFFEND someone, I think it may be time to renew our vows.
