It was a little over a year ago that I noticed the American Red Cross office on Federal Highway (US1) in Boca Raton was flying a faded, tattered American flag. After calling attention to it here on my blog, the local news media picked up on it and shamed the Red Cross into replacing it.
At the time, I offered to provide them with a new flag whenever they needed it.
They never took me up on the offer, and it appears that they should have.
Once again, the organization that uses “American” in their name is flying a sad symbol of our great nation.
I stopped by this morning to take pictures of the flag again along with a brief video showing the state Old Glory is in.
To fly a flag in this condition is a slap in the face to the men and women who gave their lives for what it stands for and the brave Americans who are out fighting daily to protect our liberties.
It’s a sad day when we can’t even rely upon the American Red Cross to show our flag the respect it deserves.
