Amidst all these SC flag wars, it is easy to forget sacrifices South Carolinians made to defend our freedoms and way of life. Question came to mind what would have these South Carolinians who gave their lives fighting for Operation Iraqi Freedom wanted about types of flags flying in SC?
During OIF, US troops often flew both the US flag with stars and stripes and the Iraqi flag with "Allau Akbar".
