Flag Flap: High School Administration Suspends Students for Displaying American Flags in Graduation Picture

And here's my email to the school:

I am a soldier currently serving just outside Baghdad, Iraq. I am writing this email in support of the students that you have reprimanded for their attempts to be photographed with U.S. flags.I proudly wear the U.S. flag on the right shoulder of my uniform; all who see it know exactly who and what I'm fighting for. I love this country. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I have a wife and a young son at home. I'd rather be with them, but this is where duty has called me.

To the school administration: Please put this situation in perspective.Compared to a lot of problems that happen nowadays in America's highschools, displaying an American flag in a photograph should be anextremely minor concern. You should be proud of these students. Honestly,what are you smoking?

To the students: Wave 'em proudly. We've got your back!

Sincerely,
Brian
