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.

About xeodtech

I'm an ex republican from 2001 until I started reading and informing myself. I was diluted when I was in the military to be religious and a right wing republican.. Now that I have spent 16 years and hundreds of books and thousand of articles. I am a democratic socialist that owns my own business and employs a meager 3 people.. I was on the Army Bomb Disposal team and had the opportunity to meet Ronald Reagan, the first Bush, Francois Mitterrand and his wife as well as Mikhail and his wife.. It's been a long road to today...
