Am I the only one who thinks Tom had good intentions?
He may not be a veteran, but did serve his community as a police officer, and I for one am ready to believe that his flag pole and the flag flying from it was an honest attempt to honor our veterans and our country.
Making fun of his writing style and spelling is one thing -- heck, he does it himself -- questioning his sincerity is something else. None of us knows his motives and is in a position to question them.
Many of these posts seem to me to be nothing less than personal attacks on someone who can be controversial.
And, by the way, the term "planting" a flag pole -- or any pole -- is not unusual. I'm also not sure why comparing the American Flag, or any other, to a condom is in particularly good taste, either.
