Veteran Cuts Down US Flag Flown Under Mexican Flag in Reno: “I Took This Flag Down in Honor of My Country”

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

An United States Veteran witnessed a business flying a Mexican flag above the American flag in downtown Reno. Many people have seen the video from 2007, but many people have not (thus the reason for this post). The activity, which is illegal, was confronted by the veteran, Jim Brossard, who courageously walked up in front of the business with onlookers standing by and was videoed taking the flags down, cutting loose the American flag and declaring, “I’m Jim Brossard, and I took this flag down in honor of my country with a knife from the United States Army.”  

The video has been removed several times by YouTube and Facebook and continually reposted. The current version of the video is posted to my YouTube account.

“I’m a veteran,” Brossard continued. “I’m not going to see this done to my country. If they want to fight us, then they need to be men, and they need to come and fight us, but I want someone to come and fight me for this flag.”

“They’re not going to get it back,” he declared before walking off with the US flag tucked safely under his arm.

Even more telling was that the man videoing the incident, walked up to two Hispanic men and asked them what they thought. Neither man responded verbally, but one did go over, picked up the flag, and walked into the establishment, which only allowed those 21 years of age and older inside.

Brosser has been called a vigilante by some and a hero by others. One thing is for sure, he is most definitely a patriot.

Following his display of patriotism, Ka-Bar designed a special knife to commemorate his act of patriotism and honor the man behind it. The US Army Brossard commemorative knife had Jim’s statements and an American flag emblazoned on the blade.

  1. Unbelievable! How the hell can you raise a Mexican flag or another country’s flag above ours? Only in America. This business should be shut down and the Mexicans need to be deported immediately or tried for treason. That is IF we actually had a law and IF we actually enforced it.

    Good for this man for doing what he did. However, I would have taken the Mexican flag down instead and made them fight for it. Leaving the Mexican flag up kinda shows that they won and conquered you.

    “Brosser has been called a vigilante by some and a hero by others.”

    Vigilante? He did his duty as an American. He didn’t go beyond the law and take matters into his own hands. He followed and enforced the law. How is that vigilantism? Do people even know what the definition of words are anymore or has the Communist Dictionary truly twisted everything?

  2. Burn that mexican flag. They have a lot of nerve flyin` that flag over our flag!!! What the F is going on here in america to let thet crap even be on the same – or any flag pole here in amerika

  3. Its an act of WAR against us. You think Mexicans are nice people? They are not. If you watch the Mel Gibson movie Apocolipto it is an accurate portrayal of the filthy rotten evil demonic beings we have to deal with everywhere in America. We loose over 3000 Americans every year on account of that scum. We have to bow down and kiss their butts? No I say. Repel borders I do say.

    Those who calls themselves patriots and would dare call me a bigot can also go to hell, because I’ve had it. Most everyone I know has had it too with that scum.

  4. Should have strung the owner up on that flagpole after removing our flag.

    With that POS Mexican flag shoved down his throat.
