Sitting for the Anthem..

Tonight in red NY I chose to sit for the anthem at my son's wrestling match. My family has over 50 years of service in the military. My Dad walked into Dachau the day after liberation. He never spoke much about it. We have all served Kids, Grand kids, Desert Storm, Iraq, Kuwait... One of my sons is now DAV,..Fuck This bullshit and Dump, McConnal and the rest. No one said a word to me for sitting. I should have knelled (?sp) in respect to my not white brethren. I am sorry, I should have had the courage to kneel.
