It is just my own opinion, but I think farm kids are apt to be more patriotic than city kids. They are taught how to work. They are taught respect. And they are taught love of country and flag. Which is likely why they staged a peaceful protest for something they believed in. <br />And good on them!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-59761601004976115292017-09-08T17:23:28.022-05:002017-09-08T17:23:28.022-05:00Restores my faith that some of these 'kids'...Restores my faith that some of these 'kids' really do understand the meaning of country.

I could not manage to mount anything in the yard or on the house. You really don't have to explain to me what the flag represents.

I am a Democrat, but I take offense at anyone who wants to live in the US and takes offense at an American flag on a tshirt. These whiners should live in a country where they like the flag. I am not a big flag waver, but I do support those who do display the flag anywhere, anytime.

They simply showed up today with big American Flags on their trucks. "Gonna tell me I can't display my flag? Really?" And they just did what is right. Gotta love it!!
