Burning of the Flag

I believe that burning the American flag is completely disrespectful to the country. Of course mistakes are going to be made, everybody makes mistakes, but those mistakes do not give a person the right to burn something that is very symbolic to the country. The flag of any country is recognized to show pride and be proud to live in the country that you live in. The American flag has made its way through every bad time that has ever happened. As the veteran soldier said in the video that we watched, the flag gave the POW's belief that they could survive what they were enduring. Being tortured like a POW was, I would feel disrespected by the citizens of the country to see that a flag had been burned.
