Americans should respect flag, come together in unity

Kaitlyn Jensen, Online Editor

   The NFL players are being highly disrespectful for not standing when our national anthem is  sung and the flag set up across the field. The players think they are protesting President Trump, but really they’re aiming their hatred toward our country. The flag is not President Trump, it is ALL of us.

  Our flag represents a country united under God, freedoms, justice, sacrifice and people of all backgrounds. They are dishonoring these holy aspects of our country. We stand as a country united; we have our struggles and regrets, but we can’t dwell on the past. We must move past our differences and come together to form stronger bonds.

  Our country is a country united under God; it is God-given. By kneeling in front of the flag, NFL players are disrespecting God who gave us this country and those who are fighting across sea to give us these freedoms we enjoy every day. We stand as a country, not as individuals.
