Shpejtim Zenelaj is an incoming freshman at Rahway High School and he certainly loves this country. For several days last week leading up to the 4th of July holiday he stood on his front lawn holding a simple sign that read "Honk for the USA."

Word got around the Union County town and by July 2nd authorities quietly arranged a 2 minute parade of police cars, ambulances, fire engines, and other city vehicles to go by his house. The mayor even showed up presenting the 14 year old with a medal.

What inspired Shpejtim to spend his days this way? He had seen a news report about protesters in NYC burning the American flag and wanted to show the world not everybody has bad feelings about our country.
