When NFL players took a knee during the National Anthem in 2016, a tradition was born at Rainbow Oaks Restaurant.
Owners Duke and Jonell Maples, who remodeled and reopened the restaurant in 2009, decided to start playing the National Anthem at noon, seven days a week.
"It was my way of waving my middle finger at the NFL," said the retired Marine. The restaurant is filled with patriotic memorabilia and American flags. A Marine Corps flag flies under the American flag atop the restaurant and inside, it's obvious the clientele has support for and by the military and law enforcement. The restaurant, located on the west side of I-15, is also frequented by bikers, especially on weekends.
The Maples sold the restaurant (but not the land) to Jeanene Paulino in December. Interviewed at the cashier's stand last week, the new owner said she plans to continue all the same patriotic activities, including the National Anthem.
The restaurant has been in national headlines and social media the past couple of weeks after a woman visited the restaurant and declared on TikTok that the restaurant's activity was "the most dangerous situation I've ever been in."
"Our country is in sad shape if the National Anthem is anything but something to be proud about," Duke Maples countered at the restaurant last week just before the National Anthem was played.
Paulino, the new owner, said she was the real estate broker who listed the business for sale before buying it herself in December. "It was difficult to find a buyer with the same heart as Duke and Jonell," she said. "I stand with what they've established here, and it mirrors my feelings."
The Maples agreed to stay and help with the restaurant operation for a year as Paulino learns the business.

What REAL Americans looks like. These are the people who built America, not cotton underwear.
And if the lefties don’t like that, they can leave!!!!!!!!!
It’s nice to see regular people not afraid to show love for our country.
I wonder if they serve Bud Light?
...see tag line
Reminds me of grades 1-12, when every school had the same policy for the Pledge of Allegiance...
I also remember sitting on pieces of cardboard on the class coatroom floor listening to the sound of the distant rumble of the duels with the U-boats off the coast of Boston Harbor...
Good reply
Probably no gun-play if they run out of chicken, either.
This needs to become a trend in every city across the USA.
WOW !!! That must have been weird.
Was the Coatroom the shelter location ? Later to be the "Duck and kiss your ass goodbye" location.
If I were to get anywhere close (meaning west of Texas) I would definitely go there to Eat, ONLY at that Restaurant. I would have to haul a few gas cans of fuel in to kommiefornica so that I would not be purchasing anything else inside of the border.
Not only could one eat, relax and enjoy the meal just think of all those demonratcommieblmantifaterrorscumfeminazipedophilegoatrapers that would be offended and not contaminating the place.
Mission barbecue here in York, PA plays the Star Spangled Banner every day at noon. The customers stand and salute the flag.
Nice...Screw you Leftists/Marxists. The national anthem is DANGEROUS? I might have to go and support Rainbow Oaks (especially when you have someone who thinks it’s dangerous. I hope I can tell that snowflake off...)
Usually I’d totally avoid someplace called “Rainbow” these days….
Watch out — the regime may be coming for them.
Every class room had a coat room... It was off the central hallway next to the classroom entrance door...
When the air raid alarms rang, the class immediately went to the coat room where the teacher would immediately lead us in the Lord’s Prayer...
We were about 8 miles from the entrance to Boston Harbor (as the crow flies) and eventually could tell when the “rumble” was deck-gun fire, depth charges, or a torpedo hit...
Boston was a main collection point for the convoys headed to England and, eventually, the Soviet Union...
The U-Boats sank the convoy ships like sitting ducks, for the first part of the war after Pearl Harbor...FDR’s war...
Yes!
