"Boy stands up for Old Glory"

[KenpoTex]

awesome story...we need more kids like this.

Jeffrey Sahli noticed the faded, fraying American flag outside Evergreen Middle School soon after he started eighth grade last year.

"I thought the flag wasn't being treated with flag etiquette. I thought I needed to do that," the 14-year-old said. "I wanted to serve my country and I thought, heck, I'll start right here."

Jeffrey doesn't come from a military background, though he hopes to attend West Point.

Good lad. I hope he does.

I think the truth is that the majority of youth is actually more like this lad than not. We usually only hear about the bad ones though.
