There has been an outburst of seemingly poor judgement by many people who fail to stand for Our Country's "Pledge of Allegiance" and the playing or singing of Our "National Anthem"... in essence using this kneeling or sitting as an act of protest against America, against the United States of America, its Flag and its Anthem... All seem to have their reasons, but our founding fathers sought to create a Country that was and is based on Freedom... Are there rules? Of course. We Have Our "Declaration of Independence", and Our "U.S. Constitution" and we have Our "Bill of Rights". We have a three tiered government based on an "Executive Branch", a "Judicial Branch" and "Law Making Branch"... Our Congress. Is it perfect? Nothing is perfect, but it is closer than any other in Our world.
There are those that would annihilate us and those who see "Globalism" as the basis for a world government... There are those that would sacrifice our Freedoms for their own sake alone... We the people choose to Stand for Our Flag, Stand for Our Anthem as a solemn respect for what our Flag and Anthem have represented for over 200 years.
I offer this short tribute to all the people of the United States of America who believe in the "Rule of Law", who respect our Country and will do anything to protect the freedoms we have. In creating this short video, I found John Williams, new rendition, of our Star Spangled Banner to be most uplifting... As a United States Air Force Disabled Veteran, I honor the solemn oath I took when I enlisted and will honor it until my last breath is taken... I stand and salute Our Flag and I stand and salute Our Anthem...
May we always be free, may we always set a positive example for all the world... God Bless the United States of America and Our Flag and the Republic for which it stands..

Those who refuse to stand for the Flag have never been handed a folded Flag that just moments before was draped over the casket of a loved-one. The Flag has a special significance to those of us who have served under that Flag, and will take our last ride with that Flag covering what is left of our mortal remains. Thank you for that beautiful tribute Brother Sgt (Join to see)!

SGT Steve McFarland - I've never been handed a folded flag at a funeral, but I have handed far too many folded flags to grieving widows or other family members. Definitely a humbling experience. You don't even want to know what I think about those that desecrate Old Gory. I'd probably get kicked off of RP if I put it in writing.
