Protests and freedom

9/13/2016

​I encourage everyone to read the whole story of Francis Scott Key and how our National Anthem came to be. We all know how African Americans were abused in this country, and I have no idea how human beings could treat one another that way. We also know, regardless of race or career, there are bad apples and that everyone has the right to peaceful protest.
 
My father served on the USS Oklahoma as Pearl Harbor was being bombed. He was one of the lucky ones who swam to safety. Survivors were left behind waiting up to 48 hours for someone to torch through the hull. All this to preserve our freedom. If we had lost WWII, what would have happened if someone did not stand for Hitler’s anthem.
 
Go ahead, protest all you want. But choosing to degrade the people who gave you that freedom is the wrong way!
