I Stand For and Honor the Flag, the Anthem and the U.S.A.

I have been given written permission and even encouraged by Mr. Marshall to stand up for my rights and freedom of speech, so I will again.

I am thankful that honoring the flag and anthem have been American traditions handed down for generations. I am thankful for all the men and women who have fought for, suffered grievous wounds of body and soul and many died for the United States of America. They suffered for me. I am unworthy, but oh, so thankful.

How painful it must be for those heroes to see the flag burning and the kneeling for the anthem.

I was taught to say what I need to say as nicely as I can and not be obnoxious. My Mother called it disagreeing agreeably.

I still have to say, once again, it is disgusting, un-patriotic, un-American and heartbreaking to see our flag burned and kneeling for the anthem.

I stand up for and honor the flag, the anthem, the United States of America and am proud to do so. It is my privilege and my freedom.
