I took this photo today in Pittsburg, KS. It is in front of an old vacant school... the fact that nobody bothers to take down torn and ripped flag really hit me. Would Washington be proud of this display ? Is this why he and the founders did what they did?
This nation is really going through a change... will it be for good, or for bad? I think we will get past all of the bickering and trouble but it might take some serious struggles. Imagine seeing this image during the revolution that formed this country and the damage could be from the battles of war... but no this, like so many things is a symbol of where we are in America.
The battle damaged flags waved as a sign that we are not giving up, we will survive. Today's weathered and tattered flag is from neglect and indifference, let's just hope it does not become a battle damaged flag once again.
Would Washington Be Proud ?
God Bless America !!
You tell me?
