What I took from this -

I did not fail to see that the man had hung the Mexican flag over the American flag - yes that also outraged me.  I still feel the American could have treated the flag with more respect if he were going to draw such attention to his act.

For the record, I am very much a proud American.  I was married to a soldier for almost 20 years.  I have a son who is serving in the Army Reserves and is leaving in a few months to go overseas!
