The Tuesday letter writer who condemned Alicia Cooper and Colin Kaepernick for “working to undermine our nation” by exercising the freedoms that the national anthem is proposed to honor dishonors that very anthem. I spent 28 years in the military defending this country and the right of citizens to exercise their First Amendment rights and I hate to see that right denigrated by accusing American citizens of almost seditious activity.
I’ve see an awful lot of “Hyperventilating Patriotism” this election season. Enough is enough!
