My DH was also in the military. At all the military theater they ALWAYS played the National Anthem. Everyone stood and placed their hand on their hearts. It is amazing how many take freedom for granted. I personnaly think that all Americans and those who live here legal or otherwise should go through basic training with the military. There are of course those who are not physically or mentally able to do this, but most of us are. After basic they could stay in or not. It would give our young people some discipline and respect for life and freedom. Ok enough said.
