Reasons for The National Anthem

[sandsoftime]

  Sometimes people don't understand why we stand for a flag before an event..

A reminder to all considering what we are going thru.. 

We HONOR the men and women of the military, we HONOR 1st Responders, we HONOR all people who live under this flag who stepped forward thru this crisis, medical (who really defined what their profession means,they truly walk the walk), 1st responders, parents, companies/people who transitioned their businesses to produce life saving material, workers at stores that remain open to provide us with basic necessities, the everyday individual who provides an act to help however small(which it is not) to someone...  

If I want to admire a hero now, I know I can step out my door and look at my neighbors..  So when you stand for the National Anthem, be positive and admire our heroes(race n bias be damned),they are standing right next to you!!!  We Honor our country(US)
