Callender letter: NFL protests
None of the kneeling NFL players nor their supporters are good enough to share my foxhole. Disrespecting Gold Star mothers, our anthem, our flag presented by a color guard in uniform, they prove to be spoiled juveniles in a game jersey throwing a fit. ... Being born with athleticism does not make them a hero which the NFL billionaires and sportscasters have created for a profit. Bless the millions of American patriotic men and women who do love this country and are real heroes. Gold Star mothers are some of the real heroes. Teach our children who the real heroes are and who are not heroes. God bless America and our president. Go Army beat Navy.
