"They're watering down the term of what a true hero is these days. I thought it was offensive to every family's fallen solider out there, and it cheapens the meaning of lowering the flag." - John Burri, talking to ABC News about New Jersey lowering flags to half-staff for Whitney Houston. Burri’s son died in the Iraq war, and in protest of the Houston issue, he burned a New Jersey flag. Burri said he believes only those who have served their country should be honored with the half-staff flags. Houston was born in New Jersey.
