Yea I wasn't happy about how people don't stand for things like that. But many people just take it for granted.. and I think we all do from time to time. I just thought it was awesome how this 80 something year old is able to stand despite the fact he is in a wheelchair. He has to put forth 100 time the effort that a much younger person needs to in order to pay a little respect. But you also have to look at the fact that he looks at it a little different than most people. Most people have no understanding as to what the flag and the USA means to him.. and that level of respect came from his time in WWII (i assume). One 80 year old I wouldn't mess with =/
