A Real American Hero Defending the US Flag [Video]
A Big Hat Tip to TexasFred for passing on a message addressing that Reno, Nevada, FOX News did a story, Reno Vet Cuts Down Mexican Flag Illegally Flown On Top of US Flag, which identifies U.S. Veteran Jim Brossard cutting down the flags and taking possession of the U.S. flag, tossing the Mexican flag to the ground and daring the Mexican bar owner to JUST TRY and take the U.S. flag away from him. Below is a copy of the news video from DailyMotion.com:
To quote TexasFred: "When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea. Source:USFlag.org: United States of America - Flag Etiquette. This man had the courage to enforce that flag code too, and if a lot MORE Americans had this kind of pride in Nation, Flag and self, this would be a better country" Also listen to:Mike Gallagher Interview: Man Uses Iraqi Freedom Army Knife to Cut Down Mexican Flag Flying Over U.S. Flag Tags:Flag, Fox News, illegal aliens, Mexico, Mike Gallagher, TexasFred, U.S., United States, veterans, videoTo share or post to your site, click on "Post Link".

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American… There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” — Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
Kudos, kudos and more kudos to Mr. Brossard. It is that American spirit that our ancestors once had and can still be had, as long as we do what's right.
