First off, before you begin to read this and analyze which party I voted for, you can give up. I won't tell you because who I voted for does not matter in this article. Just to be safe, however, I will admit that I believe every one has the right to vote as they choose, whether they are mad or whether they are happy about the results of the election. Everyone is entitled to their own emotions. We're only human, and that's OKAY.

I like to believe that I pride myself in seeing and understanding both side's views. I understand where people may agree on situations and where they may disagree. It's all about having your own opinion, which I completely respect.

I do not respect, however, the hate and pure loathing that has accompanied this election's result. If you choose to despise our new president, which many of you do; that is completely OKAY.

However, what I despise the most is seeing Americans burn their own flag.

This is exactly what I saw on social media, the day after the election's results. Specifically, Snapchat's "Election Protest" which previewed the actions happening in New York City. That night, I watched a group of people happily set fire to an American Flag and then proudly watched it burn.

How else could I react to this video then to sit there stunned, astounded, shocked (every word that means having seen the unfathomable) and couldn't help but cry.

The American Flag has so many meanings behind its beautiful colors, but most importantly for myself, and many others it stands for the men who fought for this country. It stands for every Veteran and their brave souls. Yet, here I was, sitting in my room two days before Veterans Day and I watched citizens burn our flag.

There was so much hatred, that I felt completely and utterly uncomfortable as I watch the American Flag crumple to the cheap, dirt ground. I write only for this action and how disgusted I was.

You are more than welcome to have your opinion and share your views, in a kindly, respectable manner.

I don't have much of a point to this article, mainly I just want to point out how disappointed I am, as I am so sure many of us are. Political views aside, if you're an American Citizen you're in for these four years with me, but lets be effective and respectable during this time. We can do it together without disgracing our own country and while acting like mature adults.

I beg you to respect the American Flag because I cannot bare the thought of watching one more American Flag burn so unjustly.
