“above respect for that game is a deeper respect for those that serve to protect us and unite us under one flag!”
As a proud Navy brat, my respect for service members is absolute.
But when a service member stands for the national anthem, that is the service member's show of respect for the United States, not for the military.
Same goes for me.
"The Star Spangled Banner" is NOT a military anthem.
