stealing a flag-what does it mean?

Posted by smokeymadison on July 8, 2005, at 12:52:46

i am writing a news story about a woman who stole a flag during the Vietnam War in protest of the war and then recently returned the flag b/c of a guilty conscience. funny thing is, the man she sent the flag to recently had his flag stolen on the 4th of July. one can only wonder if it was a protest over the war in Iraq.
i suppose stealing a flag isn't as strong a statement as burning one. but what exactly does it mean to steal a flag? is it the empty space that is left? or is it what you do w/ the flag once you steal it? the woman just hid it all these years. what does that mean?
