There Is Hope
Wiping tears from my eyes…….sorry.

Forty children gave a stirring rendition of the national anthem after they were shown a patriotic movie in honor of April being the Month of the Military Child.
According to Hannah Kunze, about 40 children at Naval Station Rota in Spain were taken to a matinee. The children ranging from 5 to 12 years old stood, and “without being asked, belted out our National Anthem with their hands on their hearts.”

Perhaps if all American movie theaters (not just those on military bases) played the National Anthem before movies, more kids would actually know the words, and the protocol expected when the song is played.
Or, it could just fuel more arguments like the ones I have witnessed, and been part of, at various school and sporting events, as more and more asshats don’t bother to get up, remove their headgear, or continue to carry on their conversations during the anthem.
Harper – It’s a reality that young adults and their offspring don’t understand what a patriot is. It’s a sad commentary on where we are as a society.
