An Air Force veteran has found herself at the center of a controversy after taking action to defend the American flag Friday. Michelle Manhart received a call from a student at Valdosta University in Georgia who told her that a group of protesters had put a flag on the ground and were walking on it. She called the university to complain and was told the matter would be investigated.When she learned that the demonstrators — who have declined to identify themselves or say what they were protesting — were still desecrating the flag three days later, Manhart went over to where they were, “walked up, picked up the flag and walked away.”
