Default 40 years ago Rick Monday saved this flag from burning at Dodger Stadium

He's turned down an offer of $1mm for it, instead traveling around the country with it helping to raise funds for soldiers and their families.

"What I did that afternoon, I just spoke for the people that I know in this country that love this country and didn't like what those people were trying to do," Monday said. "To me, it was a slap in the face to anyone that has ever put on a military uniform, and to their families."

Did he think about what to do that day, or did he just act out of instinct?

"You don't have to think about something if it's right and wrong," he said.
