GREAT photo!

Last Friday night one kid on the opposing high school team knelt during the anthem.  I never noticed, because we were facing the flag, but after the game one of my grandsons mentioned it.  He was ticked.  He thought that the kid should have been benched for the whole game by his coach and maybe kicked out.

Interestingly, the other school was from Bremerton, WA.  They have two high schools there.  Last year when we played the other Bremerton HS at their homecoming, man did their band and people put out the spit and polish and superb protocols for the flag.  Big time Navy town.

Richard O'Kane's book CLEAR THE BRIDGE is a favorite I've read several times.  It is about the WWII war patrols of the submarine Tang, of which O'Kane was captain.  It is also an excellent book on leadership and I think O'Kane intentionally wrote it to be so.

I bet Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler never kneeled during the national anthem!
