At the beginning of the American National Anthem people should use proper protocol with standing up straight with their hats off and their hand over their heart. Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers has started a protest where he takes a knee during the National Anthem of the United States. Just because it's a freedom of speech thing doesn’t mean that people` have to respect this protest. The American national anthem should not be used as a tool for protesting, it should be respected and…

As I was being escorted down a highway in Jeddah to go meet my dad at work I came across a flag no eye could miss. A symbol reminiscent to the pride in the American flag. It was the flag of the country I was visiting during last spring break, Saudi Arabia. I had not been used to the timezone for four long years, however this kept me awake.

The Pledge of Allegiance has become a daily essence of American life; it is practiced from so early on that most citizens face an inability to recall the initial memorization of the stanzas. Despite this ritual being most prominent in schools, the words of the pledge remain overlooked and unquestioned. The commitment that the pledge’s words hold is substantial but hardly ever accounted for; therefore, it has become a habit instead of a solid oath. In its words, it has brought up controversy due…

Revisions to the Pledge of Allegiance The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist minister named Francis Bellamy in August of 1892. He had hoped that it would be used by citizens in any country. It was penned as follows, “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The words, “the flag of the united States of America,” were added in 1923, and the mistake of inserting, “under god,” took place in 1954…

This was never a thing that the NFL or pro sporting was worried about about the players kneeing for the anthem was never a big thing. It all started when everyone saw what colin kaepernick taking a knee when the national anthem was playing and they went wild over that but then it spread around on social media but every sport thing in the morning like sportscenter went wild over it.

What made the sinking of the Titanic so important? The Titanic was a 3 million dollar boat that took three years to build. Everyone believe that the Titanic was unsinkable.

I oppose Kaepernick’s actions because I think no matter what it is you are in america, you should show some respect toward this United Nation. You choose to be here, did you not? If you’re going to be here, you ought to respect everything including the national anthem. Living in America is a right not a privilege. If you don’t respect our flag, national anthem or anything else, do not expect it from us in your own country… What do people not understand?? Normally you do things even if you do…
