Some find this offensive. Some find it moving. What say you?

I see and respect both sides on this but personally, I like it. Another take ... if an olympian can wear the flag as a cloak after winning gold, why shouldn't the baby of a service member be cradled in one?

What I really take issue with is blue digital camo for the Navy. Apart from looking "cool" how does that make any damn sense?

It is a very nice picture but I guess most are going by the US Flag Code!!

"The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything".
