When three military veterans found an upside-down American flag lying on the ground behind a Florida shopping plaza, they did what they had to do to dispose of it properly. When the flag is on the ground, you dont leave her, you guard her, said one of the vets, Parker Fitzsimmons. After untethering the tattered flag from the flagpole from which it had hung, the men folded it and brought it to a local official. In accordance with protocol, it was expected to be burned. “When you fight for it or you see the flag draped over a casket of your fallen brother, it tends to take a higher meaning,” said Rob Martin, a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan.
