If you were fortunate enough to watch the broadcast of the Major League Baseball All Star Game, you were also fortunate enough to see patriotism presented unashamedly. During the opening ceremony, living Medal of Honor recipients formed a line on the infield. Men who have been recognized by our nation for their valor on the battlefield. (Note: I was privileged to have served under one of them, Major General James E. Livingston, U. S. Marine Corps Retired.)
And there was a magnificent chorus, bedecked in red, white, and blue forming the image of our nation flag. As the chorus sang our National Anthem, not one player took a knee. The Anthem lifted, with player, spectators, and the Medal of Honor recipients rendering the proper honors. Inspiring!
As to the game...well it turned out to be a home run derby mixed in with pitching.
