Family members of Col. Roy Knight Jr. stand as the national anthem is played during Knight's memorial service in Cool, Texas,
on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019. Knight was shot down over Laos in 1967 while serving as a U.S. Air Force pilot in the Vietnam War.
In February, Knight's remains were recovered and identified, then were flown home last week for burial at Holder's Chapel United
Methodist Church.

Thanks for posting.
It’s always quite moving when remains are unexpectedly recovered and a family has the opportunity to bury a loved one.
I’m surprised that a full colonel was (still is?) allowed to fly in an area where he might be captured.
This is the result of the lefts cancer they have brought to our school system. These punks do not know American history and the sacrifice of others
What our flag and constitution means to others ;

If there was ever a picture that needed no words it was the last one, moving!
Kneeling has always how “low rank scum” show respect to their betters.
The National Anthem of the United States is played to each and every citizen of the U.S.A.
These people are bowing before the people of the United States.
On May 19, 1967, Maj. Roy A. Knight, Jr., USAF, was shot down while attacking a target on the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. He was initially listed as Missing in Action until being declared Killed in Action in 1974. During that time, he was promoted to Colonel. Fifty-two years later, in February, 2019, Col. Knight’s remains were recovered and identified by personnel assigned to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
The “kneelers” only prove their ignorance, their arrogance and their worthlessness. These disrespectful losers deserve their ultimate fates.
That’s what I always thought.
“Promoted” to Colonel.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Good riddance to her.
they put their ignorance, arrogance, and worthlessness on full display for the world to see- Gee- they must be so proud of themselves-
Scumbags don’t know the meaning of the word “Shameful’ despite displaying shamefulness daily
As symbols of solidarity go, the kneeling thing seems a little questionable because it takes you out of solidarity with the United States. Now imagine a world without the United States. Europe would likely still rule the world. It wouldn’t be a nice Europe either, it would probably be some iteration of an expansionist Germany. The only good news is that China would probably still be a hermit kingdom.
Bump.
Thanks for the ping.
Some people love America, the ones who don’t should leave....
