Somehow, for me, the flag essentially hung there, like the coconut head. It was largely unremarkable and too, in time, blended in with its surroundings. I didn't harbor disrespectful feelings for it...it really just left me feeling indifferent.
As I grew older my attitude toward the flag remained unchanged. I saw Team U.S.A. goalie Jim Craig drape himself with it during the 1980 Olympics. I watched as it was dramatically folded and handed to widows of those who have served our country's armed forces. I watched natives of other lands burn and otherwise destroy the flag, but all I could muster was, "Whoa, what's their problem?"
