I knew I would open a can of worms when I posted this thread and I can take the heat.

Your right I've never voted before this election because to me it really didn't matter to me who was president. Now it does matter because of the last 8 years of turmoil in this country. I've never condemed anyone who has voted in the past. I never had that right because I didn't vote before this.

By the way if you are a disabled vet such as myself the flag is sacred and is something I would die defending. I guess this is why the flag pin meant so much to me.
