This is embarrassing.  Some people die and put their lives on the line for this country.  If those people that serve and die for us find this as a personal insult to disrespect this American tradition then you can be damn sure I will stand and salute that tradition until the day I die as an American.  Any person who shows this kind of disrespect to those people and this country need to be penalized for this behavior.  Hopefully he is voted out at a minimum.
