In an interview with Fox News, Rich expressed his admiration for the viral photo of the boys holding the flag, saying, "I was so impressed that, first of all, someone had taught them, that you never let the American flag touch the ground, under any circumstances. Somebody raised these guys correctly. They understand what's going on."
