I think this is getting a little too personal for some. I've had family fight and die in many wars too. I love my country and I can't thank our service men and women enough for allowing me the freedoms that I enjoy.
However, these people that are kneeling, I don't feel in any way that it's meant as a slap to our military heroes. Their issues are not related to the military. Either way, we have no control over how they protest, what they protest, or anything like that. I understand the personal connection some feel to the stars and stripes and/or national anthem. I am in no way trying to downplay or belittle or make light of anyone's personal connection to these things. Bless you and your patriotism. I'm just saying those that you hold high gave their time, effort, and in some cases their lives for these people to have the right to kneel. Continue to be proud no matter what people do during the anthem because they're able to do those things because of our loved ones.
I really hope I worded that well because I do not want to offend anyone.
