Thank you for your years of Service.. I respect your opinion but in my opinion I think Colin's actions has had the complete opposite effect as he intended. When we do something that many consider radical or blasphemous people tend to insert Politics and then take sides on the issue to the point it becomes more of a battle than a movement..One good thing I've noticed though is it seems Mr Kaepernick has brought a ton of additional awareness to our great flag as I've never seen more on display as I've seen the last couple years.. When a person kneels for the flag and anthem sadly MILLIONS can't help but see hate, how about if he puts his hands UP in the air and says a prayer that to would be noticed and few would not love and respect that thus listening to his message..
