Army-Navy Game’s Stunning National Anthem Rendition Puts Every
Kneeling NFL Player To Shame

After watching the game Saturday and seeing this I happened to post a
rare comment on my Facebook page saying that it was refreshing to see
those young Cadets and Midshipmen standing and saluting the flag instead
of taking a knee during the singing of the National Anthem.

Almost all of those who responded "liked" it, even a couple of my
Democrat friends.* One however reacted with an "Angry" emoticon.* I know
him as well.* He's similar to Harry in his politics but the funny thing
is I know he's a phony and a follower as well, trying to project an
image.* Anyway, I considered replying to his reaction by saying that
instead of being angry he might consider being grateful.

But then I realized that for some it's a waste of time, so I didn't bother.

BTW ... the guy I am referring to was in a band back in the late 60's
that had a couple of billboard "hits".* Now he's trying to live in the
past, performing at every Open Mic he can.* He's basically an ass.



Gee, what happens to cadets and midshipman who don't stand and salute
during these exhibition


Probably something we'll never know. They wouldn't be where they are if they did not respect their
country and its flag.
