The turncoats are coming.

"Whatever their protest was about, what they were attempting to do to the flag ... which represents a lot of rights and freedoms that we all have ... was wrong for a lot of reasons," Monday said. "Not only does it desecrate the flag, but it also desecrates the effort and the lives that have been laid down to protect those rights and freedoms for all of us."

My apologies. I meant to post this a few days ago as an example of what a hero should be. Not a rapper or protestor like Cindy. But, an honest athlete who served 6 years in the USMC Reserves. And was able to find time to save the flag, instead of watch it burn. Like Paul Revere he made his dash as a patriot. C.I.R. extends a big thank you and "Semper Fi" to Rick Monday. When you look at this picture it proves the Marines are the first in the fight.
