UNC fraternity brothers awarded for defending flag against mob: 'Listen to what the red, white and blue truly means to us'
As campus protests broke out across the nation earlier this year, a group of fraternity brothers at UNC-Chapel Hill captured the attention of the nation with their act of patriotism.
The group was honored at Fox Nation's 6th annual Patriot Awards.
UNC students Guillermo Estrada and Alex Jones accepted the "Award for Courage" during the Patriot Awards, which honored the fraternity for holding up the American flag as pro-Palestinian protesters tried to replace the Stars and Stripes with a Palestinian flag.
"We didn't hesitate when we saw our flag being torn back down because this flag represents the beacon of hope that called my parents to this great country 20 years ago," Estrada said during the awards.
"The promise of liberty and prosperity that makes America a light to the world. That is what that flag represents."
