In Honor of our Troops

I just read this at Marine Corp Moms:

In honor of our troops

A good friend who lives in Phoenix sent this AAR after attending a recent Arizona Cardinals football game:

As we were standing in the concession line for a dog and a beer, the Star Spangled Banner came on over the sound system. Believe it or not every concession worker, security staff, and nearly every spectator stopped what they were doing, took off their hat (if they had one), and placed their hand (or hat) over their heart during the singing of the national anthem. One lady working behind the counter pulled out a small flag and began waving it to us in line. It was a stunning moment. I couldn't believe it.

Afterward I saw a sign posted at the concession stands, "In honor of our troops, we will stop work during the playing of our national anthem".


Way to go Cardinals. Pass it on.

#2  Truly lovely, Sherry. :-) On Sunday the head of our piano school told me she can't watch the news or read the New York Times anymore because they lie. It seems to me there must be lots of people who know that without necessarily talking about it -- the same people who are too polite to talk religion or politics, but who are the real reason the mainstream media market has been shrinking these last years.
