Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, recently commended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill fraternity brothers for their courageous act of defending the American flag from an anti-Israel group on campus. The incident occurred when activists attempted to replace the American flag with a Palestinian flag, prompting the fraternity brothers to intervene.
UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts instructed the police to restore the American flag after the initial incident. However, the situation escalated when non-affiliated activists made a second attempt to remove the flag. In response, a group of fraternity brothers and other students swiftly acted to prevent the flag from touching the ground, a moment captured in a viral photo on social media.
