You really shouldn't speak about our president that way. ;)<br /><br />Hey I agree with your sentiment - that people shouldn't disrespect our country, because we do enjoy a lot of freedoms and it's a special place in the world - but I don't equate the National Anthem with our country any more than I equate our flag with it. They're both symbols. It doesn't make me feel good to see someone disrespecting either of them, but I think that's the point of protest - to make people uncomfortable.<br /><br />In any case, I went to homecoming this year and saw a lot of brothers over dinner and beers. Hope to see you next year. I might even do the skeet shooting event.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339373122264011261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640715116021555600.post-17822627899242237312017-09-26T09:48:54.275-04:002017-09-26T09:48:54.275-04:00Well said.Well said.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731772566878463934noreply@blogger.com
