DM thank you for taking the whole Stewart and the flag thing so well. You are showing great poise in a chaotic moment (even though alot of us don't think it's a big deal, but some are I guess, which is too bad).
Even though the whole flag thing hasn't worked out exactly as you imagined in your head (for the most part better, and perhaps in a few cases worse) at least you have these big facts to declare your project as an amazing success..
1) The flag has safely made it to each of it's locations around the world.
2) Each person has taken pretty good care of it.
3) The flag has now touched the hearts of many many Stew fans.
4) Stewart finally got to see it in person and he is now offering his personal involvement in carrying it! WOW.
I can only hope that everyone calms down and realizes this actually was the best thing that could've happened with the flag. I know what you originally had planned (him not touching it) didn't work out, but as you know, life throws you curveballs. Just take the pitch and move on. I do appreciate your personal post about it and how humble you are staying.
Keep your chin up and please continue this beautiful act of sharing the flag with the world. It's truly amazing.
Sincerely,
cp
