I think people really are frustrated about something else!

If folks want to vent about something other than the subject of the thread then they should start a new thread in the Lounge section. Don’t think Warren or Unk deserve this thread to keep stirring the same pot.

Exactly what I was thinking, Jim.

I served in 2 different branches.

Every time the National Anthem is played, the entire time I cannot help but think about all the service men and woman that lost their lives while defending this great nation.

Very simple. Americans from all walks of life gather in one place to attend a particular sporting event. It's an occasion where we should all be united and find common ground in something................... so we stop what we are doing, put our differences aside for several moments, and pay respect to our country's flag and national anthem.

Agree. Asked and answered .
I can appreciate some of the impassioned comments, but please take them to The Lounge, where Kenny has allowed us to vent .

Or at my dad's funeral... last week.

Go to any VA cemetery for a funeral, and the respect shown by the Honor Guard will take your breath away.
The VA cemetery in Dixon, Ca. is a beautiful place.

Thanks all for the clarification on what happened.

I think it was explained pretty well in this thread:http://classracer.com/classforum/showthread.php?t=76846
Maybe some (including the OP, Mr. Hill) didn't see it?
