Re: Summit League Tourney
I wish that I had the introduction that was given one night a long time ago in my home town. It was short, about 2 minutes at the most, and spoke to what the national anthem meant, especially in relation to what was occurring at the time it was written. At that time, people were concerned because people started clapping and cheering before the song was over. Our country was war at the time of the student read his message. I don't think I have ever seen so many old farmers reaching for their hankies and dabbing their eyes. When the band finished playing, not a sound until the colors were retired. One friend has died and one was seriously and permanently injured in our current conflicts, only because they answered the call of our country. If during a time of war, you can't understand the problems with the behavior addressed above, you have some real maturing to do. You never know if the person sitting beside you or behind is the mother, father, sibling, son or daughter of someone who has made the ultimate sacrifice, so act as if you do.
