Deception
I have kept my mouth shut on this subject because I personally do not want to get into a debate with people and their opinions I am just stating mine. You don’t have to agree with me as I don’t have to agree with you and this will probably be the only time I post something somewhat political. I personally don’t agree with all the dang protesting something I was brought up to respect. First, I will always stand for the anthem out of respect for the men and women who have fought (like my Grandpa Aragon) and continue to fight for our freedom here in America. Now there has been people around us at Lions games that sit silently in their protest. They don’t distract me, they have never spewed hate when I have stood. Second, part of the song that we don’t sing as there is much more to the song, is: O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
