Lately in the news, celebrities have been shamelessly displaying their disrespect for the American by “taking a knee” during the National Anthem. One Facebook user recently posted a heartwarming image showing the exact opposite — a disabled boy who used all his strength to literally stand for what’s right. Read the post below.
To all of “Those” that refuse to stand for the Flag of the United States of America……….. this is my nephew Arek Trenholm, he has “spina bifida” he used his arms to “STAND” from his wheelchair as our Flag passed by!! He will never be able to “play” football, if he could, he would “Stand” as the flag passed or when the “National Anthem” is played. Take a lesson!
Many people shared their encouragement and respect for Arek’s actions. Facebook user Sean Holden commented, “Arek, I am a US Navy veteran who spent three years in Iraq and Afghanistan…and I just want you to know that you are MY hero.”
THIS is what taking a stand really means. Make sure to pass it on.
