I have served in the military fighting and defending America in an erroneous war; Vietnam. I’ve marched parades and stood by the side of the street watching parades. I’ve placed the American flag outside my house on Memorial Day and The 4th of July. I grew up in Philadelphia, where Betsy sewed a flag for George to go to war.
