Bethel Park & Penn Hills are Pittsburgh suburbs, as is the Cornell School District. Two weeks ago the Cornell cheerleaders knelt during he anthem. The people who got pissed off about this identified themselves as military veterans. The vets, said they were disrespected by the cheerleaders actions.

The flag is the identifier of the United States as a whole not just the military. I try to think how my late father a Marine Corps veteran with 15 years service would have felt about those kneeling during the anthem. I think my father would not have liked it, but he would have said it's their right. He would also have been pissed about the treatment of these kids by the opposing team and its fans.
