Jose,
I also question the of
putting the U.S. flag on the uniform. A Christian flag would be more
appropriate. Lets have our outpost do that :) Bro.
P.S. CDR HJR is me, I just
joined.

To Bob Triphahn:
Allow me to better
explain what I was trying to say about the American flag issue.
I feel that putting our flag makes the Royal Ranger program some
what "political" since the U.S. flag is used as
a political symbol. By putting our flag we are also somewhat
segregating ourselves from other Rangers in other
countries. Each country already has its own national office that
makes its own rules and standards so there is no need to further show our
differences by putting our flag on the uniform. We are all suppose
to be "united in Christ" so a Christian flag would be a
more appropriate flag to put on the uniform. The flag is used by
some organizations to represent certain freedoms that we as Christians
cannot support. Like most countries the U.S. has morally
has taken a downturn (Which should be expected considering what the Bible
says). we have organizations like the ACLU "shooting us down" everytime we try
to take a step forward to make this a Godly nation. Science
teachers getting attacked for teaching "intelligent design." The
state of Ohio getting slammed for having the motto "With God all
things are possibly." A judge getting in trouble for posting
the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. The Boy Scouts of America
getting bashed for excluding gays. I could continue and
continue show the increase in anti-Christian occurrences going
on here, the constant battle between freedom of religion and the
separation of church and state and all the immoral and
blasphemous garbage being accepted as normal. The American flag is
a symbol of man and has no place on a uniform that represent our servitude to
Christ. When I wear my uniform I actually think of myself as a soldier
of God. As long as we have separation of church and state then I
think it would only be logical to do the same with the Royal Rangers:
Church=RR uniform and insignia and State=American Flag. We should be
careful and not let our physical place of birth define us, but instead our
spiritual Rebirth in Christ. God Bless!
