Thank you very much! Beautiful

That is wonderful patriotism and sentiment. However, I do not understand the lack of masks and indoors? Maybe this was pre CV? I would be curious and like to know.. Thank you!

THAT is a teachable moment and that coach taught those young men why the national anthem is to be respected. It is because people died for this country and their rights and freedoms.

Thanks for sharing, tears running down my face!

What a shame the NFL and NBA didn't take the same approach.

Excellent. We need more people like that in our schools.

Thank you for sharing. We loved it!

As part of the dumbing down of the US educational system, one of the first things eliminated was the study of civics—our responsibilities as a citizen and how the US government is supposed to work. I recall there being a civics unit in every grade through elementary and junior high schools. Other changes include the elimination, except for a few crucial points, of world history and geography, a superficial presentation of US history, the dropping of the ‘specials’ such as art, music, physical and driver education. The young sports players may be aware of their First Amendment right to free speech, but they never had the opportunity to learn civics!

One of my pet peeves in TV is seeing my peers, who likely had the same civics units I did, abusing the US Flag which they leave out 24/7, no matter what the weather, never lighted at night, and seeing it eventually getting frayed and even tattered. This is disrespect for the Flag. I would not be comfortable telling complete strangers what they are doing wrong in their Flag display....

It was worth more than any of the BS we see on network TV. As a veteran I am grateful that you shared it so I can pass it to my friends and family.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing. Just wished I could hear it better but got the gist of it.
