We Stand for the Flag

As Independence Day approaches, a newly formed group called "Patriot" is urging people to respect the American flag.

Members will begin to meet regularly on July 1, and they have designed hats and T-shirts that read, "Patriot. Every Life Matters. We are all Americans." The shirt also declares, "We Stand for the Flag," and features a picture of flags and flowers at a veterans cemetery, signifying, "With Freedom Comes Sacrifice." And it says, "Let's Stand Together as One Nation Under God."

The group believes respect for the flag and national anthem will honor all military service members who've made the ultimate sacrifice, along with living veterans, including the declining number of those who served in World War II.

As July 4 nears, group members Lee Cobleigh and Ron March want Americans to respect the flag that day, even as a lot of parades and celebrations have been canceled. And while a lot of today's celebrities are outspoken on various issues, they point to the days of actor Jimmy Stewart and baseball star Ted Williams, who temporarily gave up careers to serve in World War II.
