I so look forward to a day when something like that happens when I am in the crowd.

At my grand daughters graduation a couple of years ago, during the singing of the National Anthem several teen age boys were sitting and talking and texting during the playing. Since they were in a row I could easily access I went over and advised them of the proper respect for the National Anthem. Most were apologetic (whether real or not they were polite). One stood up and wanted to know what I was going to do about it. Promptly every male within hearing stood up with an almost or what response...he being what he was flipped the bird (while promptly sitting down).

On anything regarding the status of our nation I will stand and be counted on to not let abuse not go without commentary to the perpetrators.

(and of course my wife keeps telling me I am going to get shot one of these times)......I tell her that is not an excuse to stand idly by.

I also communicate with public and or government actions that honor a minority vote or group to affect how we honor our country. If those who don't like the way we honor our country they always have the option to leave it......at least while those who believe as I do are still in the majority!!!!
