A Veteran’s thoughts on the whole Kaepernick protest, written a year ago, before this latest debacle. He had a lot of great points, probably the best of which was what the flag and the anthem truly represent. I think he missed an opportunity to discuss that all citizens are defenders of freedom, but he was asked to write this from the perspective of a soldier. Worth a read.

I chose the Shorter Whitman because of his work, "Song of Myself" and because of my self-deprecating sense of humor. I am under no illusion that I can write successful essays or poetry, but I have been known to write them anyway.
