Tribute Flags

We had a visitor come to the shop last week that called me everything from a commie to a homosexual because we sell and fly blue line tribute flags. Our position is clear; tribute flags are not American Flags. If you modify an American Flag, that would be wrong. But there is nothing wrong with using stars and stripes on a new design concept to support law enforcement, the military, or our first responders. What do you think? All respectful comments are welcome!
