I've said it before, and I will say it again. A person taking a knee on the sidelines of the game in peaceful protest doesn't bother me. Why? Because they feel secure enough in their rights afforded to them by the Constitution to exercise them. And, that means since the Constitution is still in effect, my 20 years of service (which I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution) wasn't in vain.
The people who piss me off are the ones who are eligible to vote but refuse to do so. Why? Because that is another right afforded to them under the Constitution, and refusing to vote when you are eligible is pissing all over the service of both myself and my fellow service members.
If you really want to thank a veteran, use your rights that they fought and served to protect and vote. I don't care who you vote for, just that you vote.
