My dad, my husband, and my son all served in the military. Nothing upsets my husband more than to be at an event where the national anthem is played and see men, usually young men, not take their hats off while it is playing. In this world today, I fear when my husband comments on it, very loudly, someone will pull out a gun and shoot him! After serving four years active duty, my son joined the National Guard. He had only one month left to serve when his unit was told they were going to New Orleans after Katrina. They wouldn't let my son go since his time was so short, so he signed on again just to go and help the people that suffered from the hurricane. I have never seen anyone as patriotic as my son!
