Steve King: “I say tough. I am glad you are there. Fly that flag. Fly it proud and fly it long. I especially appreciate the statement…”

I say tough. I am glad you are there. Fly that flag. Fly it proud and fly it long. I especially appreciate the statement made by Mr. Poe about the sound of that flag. My flag is on a flagpole about that same height, 20 foot. I step out my door in the morning, I check the wind and the weather and I look at that flag, and I listen to that sound. And there is times I am sitting there in the dark at night on my deck and I am hearing that flag from the light that shines on it around the corner just a little bit, and I hear that ripple of Old Glory.
