Students at Valdosta State University rallied in support of the American flag; this following last weeks protest by a small group of black students desecrating the flag by walking on it.
This group of mixed racial students far out-number last weeks incident when an Air Force Veteran, Michelle Manhart was detained by police for retrieving the flag and refused to give it back to the protesters.
Will this demonstration of flag support and patriotism receive as much media attention as the flag desecration event?
Michelle Manhart, an Air Force Veteran was arrested saving the flag from desecration at a university protest. After she retrieved the flag, the protesters begged for it back. Manhart was not going to give the flag up, not even to the cops for them to continue walking on it.
Manhart was taken to the ground, cuffed and the flag wrestled away from the Vet. Manhart was taken away, and the university has banned her from the campus.
I know all the political correctness, that the protesters have a right to express themselves under freedom of speech and that includes disrespecting our flag. Michelle Manhart was expressing herself, and her statement came out stronger and she was not afraid to stand alone.
