Norman E. Grech said he would never fly the Maltese flag because it has the George Cross.

I just cannot understand the logic behind this kind of thinking. Apart from making the Maltese flag unique, the George Cross also serves as a reminder and as a way to honour the Maltese people that fought and lost their lives during World War II.

I feel proud that our flag has the George Cross on it and would never consider removing it. Removing the George Cross would be an affront to all the Maltese that suffered during World War II and earned it at a very high price.
