I was angry when I saw them start to do something to the flag, and I'm glad that I happened to be geographically close enough to do something about it.

They sent an e-mail saying they wanted to honor the anniversary so they raised a new flag that day in Iraq and they're sending it to us.

The world has changed. But what those two were trying to do in 1976 was wrong, I mean just flat-out wrong. It was wrong then and as far as I'm concerned it's wrong now.
