Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding NFL players kneeling for the national anthem and the presentation of the American flag by our military comes some good new locally.
One of our own, Rick Monday, is coming home to give a talk on the significance of the American flag.
Many will remember April 25, 1976, when Monday -- then the center fielder for the Chicago Cubs -- saw two people in Dodger Stadium run onto the field carrying a flag, lighter fluid and a lighter.
As they tried to set the flag on fire, Monday swooped in, grabbed the flag and carried it off the field.
