A western Michigan man whose son was killed while serving in the military has burned a replica of New Jersey's flag to protest that state's decision to lower it in honor of performer Whitney Houston.
John Burri set the flag on fire Saturday on a grill outside his home in Wyoming, near Grand Rapids.
"It was $12.95 and it was the best money I ever spent," Burri told The Detroit News.
The 60-year-old Burri says lowering flags should be done for men and women who have given their lives in service to the United States.
