NFR A Flag Gripe

[Divad]

First you had blue lines, then red for firefighters, green for military, yellow for dispatchers…why not orange for wildfire crews and purple for medical professionals to complete the spectrum?

My point and gripe is, that I do not think changing the flag as a medium for supporting a group is the right thing to do. I believe it’s disrespectful to our nations origin and all that have fought for its flight from then to now.

Then don't do it.....

It's just not right to have a trout stripe that isn't native to the 13 original colonies.

Your description of the colors meanings is excellent, but represents a very small fraction of the American people fortunately.
We at least from what I have observed a very weak, and self centered people. Very little bravery and self sacrifice going on.

True (arguably), but those are still values that we should aspire to.

Absolutely.
