I Stand for the National Anthem and My Fallen Brethren

5/21/2023

Remembering our fallen brethren on Memorial Day 2024 and Memorial Day 2023

It seems that with so many kneeling before our flag and during our national anthem, the majority of us have a hard time explaining why we stand. Maybe these words will help you. If they do, share them as you see fit.

This is why this U.S. Army veteran stands: "Because America is not only the home of the brave, but of the respectful, tolerant and forgiving. May we never forget those who made the perfect sacrifice for us, their imperfect brethren."
