I woke up Wednesday and thought it was Flag Day.
I was surprised to see there was no flag on the front page of the Daily News. I went to my calendar to confirm that it was June 14 and a day to honor our nation.
I was correct but in shock that the newspaper was not respectful in paying tribute, especially at a time like this.
We are at war. President Bush paid a surprise visit Tuesday to Baghdad that was not on the front page either.
Flag Day is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag. Our flag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It is at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people died to protect it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon.
As Americans we have the right to be proud of our culture, our nation, our flag. Make sure that your children know to raise the flag, how to properly display it, salute it, stand when it passes by in a parade and use it with pride.
