In the bottom of the fourth inning, 37-year-old William Errol Morris and his 11-year-old son suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the Dodger Stadium outfield with a flag and some lighter fluid. To this day, I had always wondered why, and baseball researcher Bob Timmermann found me a newspaper clip to explain it. “The man who tried to burn the American Flag at Dodger Stadium was attempting to draw attention to what he claims is his wife’s imprisonment in a Missouri mental institution, authorities say,” wrote the Los Angeles Times on April 30.
The incident has always been painted as a protest against the country, but by this evidence it seems there was something more eccentric at work – which frankly fits with the story I’m trying to tell. In any case, Monday’s response to the attempted flag-burning, in the nation’s bicentennial year, won national acclaim.

Rick, I was serving our Country in the U.S.Army at that time, overseas in Germany, and I wanted to thank you for your Honor and Patriotism to our Flag and Country.
Thank you,
Keith

seen this video before, but the one thing that stands out is that there is no record of who the two (who tried to burn the flag) were. anyone know?

Has there been any luck in finding a print of the event? Obviously Monday has one, I’d love to get a hold of a great print like that and show my people at work what true bravery and heroism looks like. This is a difficult picture to find and that surprises me. I’ve never seen a man look at the picture and say something negative. Its a moving piece of history that makes everyone take pause.

Donald,

I’d love to find a poster or print for sale – a few people have asked about it and I have yet to see one. As soon as I find one, I’ll highlight it. I can’t imagine too many better prints to display.
