hmm i was inspired to write.

I saw an American flag on the ground in the middle of the road today. I stopped on the side of the road. I played dodgeball with tons of metal. I cried when i retrieved the broken flag. once attached to someone's car. Once waving for someone's pride in their country. Now just road trash. all drive by and see it. none but me stop to rescue it. an object of such beauty. reduced to such shame. i cried today. i cried for all those that have died for this flag. I risked my life today. only to rescue a flag. I realized once again today, I'd die for this flag. Even if it was only to resue it from a shameful end in the street. God bless America. God bless The USA.
