The time Johnny Cash was asked about flag burning, this is what he had to say
By Staff Writer| October 12th, 2018
The late entertainer Johnny Cash was more than just a singer- he was an Air Force veteran and a man who loved his country.
In an interview done during his lifetime, Cash -who had served as a communications intercept operator during the Cold War and left a Staff Sergeant- expressed how, despite his love of his freedoms, he couldn’t help but wish there were protections against burning the flag.
“When I see somebody or hear about burning the flag, I think about the time that June and I went to Vietnam,†he recalled, speaking of his wife. “In 1969, I saw the burning flesh. Boys coming in from the helicopters on the stretchers with burning flesh, falling off from the napalm on their bodies. You never forget the smell of that.â€
