"If you're going to burn the flag, don't do it around me. I've been to too many veterans' hospitals and seen too many broken bodies of guys who tried to protect it." Monday was a U.S. Military member himself, having served a commitment with the Marine Corps Reserve as part of his ROTC obligation after leaving Arizona State.

Man...that brings back memories, growing up in L.A. and loving the Dodgers. I was only 15 but there was a lot going on during that bicentennial year. He's a good guy along with a lot of other guys from that time. I was really excited when he became a Dodger that next year. Thanks for posting that video.
