Yes, the flag is just a symbol but its one to be respected. We as americans have worked hard for our freedom and that is what the flag represents. We have lost many lifes to protect what we hold so dear. I don't think that being drunk and stupid is an excuse for bad behavior. I can't say exactly what the flag represents to other people but for me its one nation united under god. I have a hard time letting anyone off for having such disregard for something we hold so dear. The kid knew it was the 4th and drunk or not he thought it would cause a stink. He got the attention he wanted and more. We live by our choices and for every action, there is an equal if not greater reaction.
