House Votes to Protect Flag
Akin votes for constitutional amendment
Washington, D.C.- Representative Akin voted today to propose a constitutional amendment to prohibit physical desecration to the American flag.
“Our flag is an important symbol representing our nation, the ideals of democracy and freedom,” said Akin. “It also represents the contributions of veterans who have served our country, some who have made the greatest sacrifice.”
“Patriotism is a virtue, which stands in the same relation as faith does between a person and God, and fidelity does between a man and wife,” stated Akin.
