Earlier this year, Morgan Akin took down the American flag that had flown for decades outside his home in deep-red far northern California. It was a small gesture, one that did not echo through the halls of the US Capitol or make headlines. But for the 84-year-old Vietnam-era veteran and retired game warden, it represented a monument shift, one his family immediately took note of.
