PATRIOT SALUTE: Rick Monday

On April 25, 1976 at Dodger Stadium, Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs, grabbed and secured the American flag from two Muslims attempting to burn our flag in the middle of the playing field. Rick Monday was a patriot then and has proven himself worthy of all the attention and appreciation for his spur-of-the-moment action in 1976. The incident was officially designated by MLB as one of the 100 Greatest Moments in Baseball History on the 30th anniversary of the day Rick Monday saved the flag from burning.



Mr. Monday has used his fame and national good will to show support for US soldiers and families of fallen soldiers. He and his family are actively involved with the Patriot Guard Riders who "are a nation wide group of motorcycle riders with the mission of attending the funeral services of fallen American heroes as invited guests of the family where they show their respect for our fallen heroes and their families while shielding the mourning family and friends from interruptions created by protesters using strictly legal and non-violent means."

PATRIOT SALUTE TO RICK MONDAY!
