Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) on June 14 reintroduced a constitutional amendment that seeks to to ban the desecration of the American Flag, commemorating Flag Day.

“The American flag is a symbol of liberty and a beacon of hope. It represents the ideals that our nation was built upon and for decades, brave men and women have carried its colors into battle to defend the United States of America,” Daines said in a statement.
