“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” 
― Gustav Mahler

America needs people like Colin Kaepernick to remind us about why we stand.

I stand up for Sgt. John D. Harvey, Cpl. George N. Holmes Jr., and Staff Sgt. Dewey Johnson, and 19 other Marines I personally knew that died defending this nation.

Every time he sits on the bench, thousands more stand up and are counted.
