Kansas City, MO, Feb. 3, 2004--The commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is outraged with U.S. media organizations for ignoring the blatant and disgusting desecration of the U.S. flag by rock singer Kid Rock during Sunday's Super Bowl Halftime Show. During the halftime performance, Kid Rock slit a hole in the flag and wore it as a poncho.

I wasn't so much offended by that but that he threw it to the floor. Kid Rock has gone to entertain our troops and is a true patriot. This was not his shining moment Sad

I just ran across your post here. I saw that article in some other publication, but can't remember where.
And here it is on their web site. It was'nt in the VFW Mag. that I could see. Guess I'll have to go on that Web site more often. I was wondering if they would pick that up. Amazing, how that one stunt could cause so much uproar.
