The Flag in New Jersey

Well good evening once again.  Tonight I am going to rant on something that really gets under my skin!  It has to do with the death of Whitney Houston once again.


I was watching the Today Show this morning and they stated that the New Jersey governor was going to fly all flags at half staff to in respect to Whitney Houston.  My issue with it has nothing to do with her drug and alcohol issues.  It has to do with the fact that she is an entertainer!  This honor is supposed to be for the people who put their lives on the line to protect and serve us.  Not for someone who made millions of dollars and wasted it on material things just because she could!


What is the message that we are sending to our troops when we do something like this?  What kind of message are we sending to our children?  We are belittling the honor that this was intended to be!


If he wants to fly the state flag like that I don't have an issue with it, but the American flag is a different story!


What do you think?
