1219: Mary Ruwart – Punishing Flag Burning

You believe that flag burning shows disrespect towards those who have fought to preserve our freedoms. Punishing protestors shows an even more profound disrespect for the ideals that these people died for. An intact flag is worthless if it no longer stands for freedom. A flag burned to ashes challenges us to remember just exactly what freedom is. ―Mary RuwartDownload Print Quality (3840×2010)   |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 340KB
