    it should be in a American history museum and not being sold off to a rich ****er who might be a far leftist who then will burn it
    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    Agreed.
    The family should donate the flag to a proper museum, and then take a big tax write off for a charitable donation.
    Preserve the flag, and screw the IRS in one shot! I love it!
