This flag means more to me than others will understand. It represents a life once lived, thriving in the midst of life, a rebel without a cause. This flag represents a smile that could light up a room and a dim day. People who didn't know him couldn't understand who he was to me, who he was to his family and friends. This flag doesn't only bring to mind the word redneck, but the face of a loved one who died too young. I call myself a redneck because I try to follow in his footsteps. anything and anybody who tries to bring me down, I put my middle finger up, and say I don't care. Because thats what he always did. Most wont understand what this flag means to me, but those who do will look at this flag, see his face and laugh. I remember his jokes, sometimes I still recall them and tell them to my friends. Those who know what this flag means to me will have a sticker on the back of their truck that's says this ones for Danny, Or a sticker on their car that is a rebel flag. I can still pick up a pencil and draw his face, because I feel like it was yesterday that I last saw him. I remember his jacket he would always wear. I once asked him why he would wear it all the time and he said, just 'cause. I feel like a have taken part of his attitude, because I always do things just because i feel like it. So I bet you don't know what this flag means to me.. But this flag flies high in my heart For this rebel without a cause who will always be loved and missed. This ones for Danny.
