22 years on active duty.
Right you are!
Many men DIED for that flag. They were/are gallant HEROES who went up against a lot worse odds that a football game to honor that flag, protect our country and yes, necessarily, gave their lives for them.
MEN died protecting it Jones. They gave their last all for it. And not just white men, if you can even say it that way. White men, BLACK men, in the end they died for that flag and neither you owners, your corporate hacks running the scam or your thugs will ever change it.
You comments to me are like someone STILL spitting on Old Glory. You just DO NOT get it.
I will NEVER watch the Cowboys again. I am done.
Thanks for your comments and feedback.
Many who didn’t die in service had life altering injuries in combat or training.
My Dad was in WW1, and he suffered a broken back in training that placed him on the disabled list for the rest of his life.
While he was in the army hospital recovering, his older brother, who basically was his Dad and his wife, came to visit him.
They caught the Spanish flu and died shortly afterwards. Dad felt like that was a double whammy.
A maternal uncle was on a college tennis scholarship, when Pearl Harbor happened. He was 20 years old and volunteered for the Army in January 1942. He served with the 1st Cav in the South Pacific until the war ended. After the war, he became a hermit, who worked and stayed away from families and friends for two decades. He had what, we now call PTSD. Fortunately, he met a good woman, who brought him back to his family. I never got to know what he was really like. I had left home and the area to live my life after college.
I have a ton of ancestors via Ancestry.com, who fought and some were killed or wounded in our wars from the French and Indian war, to the 2 wars with Britain, the Spanish American war to WW1/2, Korea and Nam. Many were killed or seriously wounded. Many left widows to raise their orphaned children.
I had classmates and friends, who never made it back from Nam. Many who did were like my uncle post WWII.
In the civil war not only the men suffered, many of their wives, mothers and daughters lived shorter lives and apparently had a lot of health problems during and after the civil war. They survived with a minimal widow’s pension.
So, I have zero tolerance for those, who spit on our flag or pull the knelling crap before NFL games. That bs started out here with Former Niners and their Che loving QB..
President Trump realizes this reality and has put the NFL owners and Thugs on a barbecue spit that is slowly turning and turning their pampered worlds upside down.
