Protocol...

I attended a huge high school graduation at the Taco Bell Arena recently. As I stood for our National Anthem and THEN our PLEDGE I took offense to you, in section 18, as you sat with your do-rag on your head, chatted with your "handicapped" mother/sister (she is handicapped because her knees gave out- her knees gave out because she got FAT) - you sat and bitched about parking while the rest of us sang with our hands over our hearts and then recited the Pledge of Allegiance...


I TEACH young men and women and I TEACH them that although they may not AGREE with things, they must RESPECT things...

My brother and father served in the miltary for this country, and your blatant disregard for protocol/respect/patriotism has prompted me to RANT to those who read this social network site.

Ten years ago I would have dragged you out of that forum for your disregard- remove you from a ceremony that means much to me and the others...

Shame on you!



In 1981, at Dodger Stadium, I saw two "men" drunk and dancing 10 rows below me during our National Anthem. As I sang with my hand over my heart, I found it odd that an old man was walking down the stairs towards these two punks (they don't even pour beer or serve you a hot dog during the National Anthem). The old man side-stepped past a couple then SUCKER punched one of the hat-wearing-disrespectful punks and sent him into the row in front.

Although the old man/veteran was removed by 3 security guards, we all applauded him...

Parmamedics collected the young guy on a stretcher.

I don't condone violence and I respect your rights, but when 1000 people are standing for our National Anthem at a HIGH SCHOOL graduation, you need to show respect for them.
