Daily Talker: Photo Controversy

A photo of a baby wrapped in an American flag has quickly gone viral.

Navy veteran and photographer Vanessa Hicks shared the photo on Facebook.  The photo, from a military family's newborn photo shoot, shows a newborn infant wrapped in an American flag held by his father, who was in his military uniform.

She says her goal was to honor the flag as well as her clients.  But she was surprised to read comments from people accusing her of desecrating the flag.

One person wrote that they found it was "disrespectful, rude, tacky, disgusting, and against the U.S. Flag Code."

Others though quickly defended it.

What do you think of the photo?
