Explaining why I choose to stand doesn't mean I am in any way offended by those who remain seated.

Actually, Americans have been standing ever since that song was written. Became more prevalent immediately after 9/11.
Villagers stand for EVERY PATRIOTIC song, veterans, memorials, waving or carrying of the flag, etc. Even those who are crippled and need walkers. Whoever runs or wins the presidency, Villagers always remain patriotic. Sometimes, I am amazed by their love of this country. Sorry, you feel differently. But, I understand your viewpoint.

The above is what you sent to another poster....and is what I was referring to....in addition to your posts since. If you know the patriotic patterns of 135K ‘Villagers’ as well as all ‘Americans ‘..I’m impressed.
