National respect/honor

As well he should have. If you think this is news read the comments below the article. I wonder how many in the audience stopped to pay respects.

Civics isn't taught in school these days. It's an uphill battle to get my 9 y.o. daughter to be polite let alone respectful in many circumstances. I doubt many children her age can recite the pledge of allegiance.

Just a rant. Reminded me of when I chaperoned a field trip to the Memorial Day Parade and several of the marchers came up to me and shook my hand. The children looked at me like I was a celebrity. People act like service and respect are anomalies these days.

That was cool.

Nice work, Lt. Good for you.

Did anyone else think he looked confused...like he couldn't tell which way to turn to face the flag? Just curious.

My son sees a Nam vet like his grandpa and says to them "Welcome Home".

I think he panicked because he didn't know which direction to face, just like when reveille or retreat plays on a base/post you're not familiar with and you don't know where the flagpole is. [ROFL1]

^^^ Yep! I remember doing that a time or two.

I read that he was confused in that huge noisy arena where the flag actually was.

Yup, shared the tweet with that vid over in Cool & Amazing Videos thread. Was good to see!
