Memorial Day

I have been making images of the American Flag for several years - always amazed at the many ways the flag is displayed and discussed. Here are a few thoughts on this Memorial Day.....

'I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag'........Anonymous Quote

'I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of the American Flag and gives his speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten'...Francis Ford Coppola

'Martin Luther King did not carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equlaity, he carried an American Flag'....Adrian Cronauer

 'There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people'......Howard Zinn
