A decorated US Navy admiral took the time to troll Colin Kaepernick during the 75th Anniversary Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony on Wednesday — saying those who died on that fateful day “never took a knee and never failed to stand” during the national anthem.
The remarks were made by U.S. Pacific Command Commander Adm. Harry Harris, who had a father and four uncles serve in World War II.
“You can bet that the men and women we honor today — and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago — never took a knee and never failed to stand whenever they heard our national anthem being played,” Harris told the crowd in Hawaii, sparking a lengthy standing ovation.

The coming of Trump has emboldened the previously timid.
I might agree on Kapputnick, but the rest of those in the NFL who are faithfull supporters would take issuue with that C Sucker and make it known ON THE FIELD how they feel.
The game I would do this at is a game where a NFL player is a former military member or who has family in the military.
I hope some player takes his GD knees out.
This is the beauty of America. No one cares that the admiral is of half Japanese descent if he acts like an American, because he IS American! Eisenhower was a German name. My last name comes from Germany too. If anybody asks me if I’m German I say “Hell no, I’m American!”
Oooorahhh!
Well put, and screw the NFL.
You want to hear something funny?
I cannot imagine a year ago an Admiral in the Navy saying something like that, either for fear of a public backlash, or fear of reprimand from the “President”. But, being an Admiral, and seeing the winds of change sweeping into Washington, DC., decided to put his true feelings out there for all to see/hear. He knows that the President Trump will not take negative action again him for this, as it’s more than likely Pres. Trump’s personal belief as well.
/Thank GOD we’re finally getting an adult in the White House again.
Best. Election. Ever.
