I got upset, and asked her what building we were standing next to (the Pentagon) and what country we were in.
No response.
The concert at the end of the walk (starring Clint Black - he was fantastic, BTW) was broadcast to our soldiers on the Armed Forces network. I have to wonder if they noticed that the audience had no flags.
This was total PC Bravo Sierra.
Well, thank you for going. And I think it's the most ridiculous policy I've ever heard of that you couldn't take the American flag and I'd love to know who made that decision and why.
Were all flags confiscated, or just the ones attached to staffs?
Clint Black put on a wonderful show, as always. He's sincere in his support for the troops. He has a charity set up on his website.

Clint Black Establishes Charitable Foundation -- The Clint Black Foundation has established a fund to benefit the families of soldiers killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Clint Black is providing all the necessary administrative costs to make sure 100% of the proceeds will go to the families. One way to contribute to this fund is to purchase a specially designed t-shirt. Those who do not want to purchase a t-shirt, but want to make a donation, can simply make out a check to The Clint Black Foundation, Families Of The Fallen Soldiers Fund and send it to: The Clint Black Foundation, C/O Sussman & Associates, 1222 16th Ave South, 3rd floor, Nashville, TN 37212.
