People today, particularly the younger generations, think it’s OK to bastardize and modernize the documents that created this great nation. They think a modern rendition of the homage to our flag or a modernized version of the national anthem is OK, cute, creative, whatever you want to call it. Taking a knee at the national anthem is included in that farce.

Well, to an old soldier like me who risked his life for our nation, its flag and its history, it’s an unintended insult. As Jesus said on the cross, “Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do.” So many have died for this nation. Please respect our flag, our national anthem, our national treasures, our God by whose grace we exist, our laws, and especially each other.

Thomas S. Abraham
