Father. Hero. Marine.
No matter your stance on global politics, I doubt anyone could say this man is nothing more than a great dad.
Best wishes to you and yours.

You can spit on it. You can burn it. But you'll never stop it from waving freely and proudly.

Did my time.
Freedom for those that have fought for it,
has a special meaning the protected will never know.
Much respect
Stay safe brothers

This flag stands for Freedom. Since when our occupation of Afghanistan is about freedom?

@m-lom: Does that take a damn thing away from the troops there? Does that take a damn thing away for this young American being proud of who he is and his Country? Will that make his son any less proud of his father and what his father had to endure during his time of service? I don't think so, not a bit! Like Foxxie says above, Father, Hero, Marine!

@USA1 Yeah... Saudis (our good friends) attacked us in NYC. I remember. What does it have to do with our freedom and occupation of afghanistan?
