A heart that beats for others, 

gains strength for itself. 

Of all the faults a person might have, 

the biggest might be in finding faults in others. 

The shadows that fall 

capture only the hopeless. 

 Not bowing to the government? Not saluting it? 
Freedom, then. This is what the soldier fights for.

   You might be forced to bow to a king, or to salute to a dictator; But, in America, if you do not stand and salute the flag it means but that you are a free person. We should not be looking to take this freedom away from NFL players or from anyone. Nor should we revile them; This is what freedom is all about.   

When we salute the flag, 

we salute the right of others not to salute it. 

Your worst enemies 

are the ones who rob you of your friends.
