WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

When I was a kid, we faced the flag, put our right hand over our heart, and recited the pledge of allegiance. Then we bowed our heads, and said a prayer. Even the ornery kids showed respect while we did these. There weren’t school shootings back then.

Never once was a thought, trend, idea, or scheme of getting 5 second of fame killing classmates when I was in school (I'm 51.) Definitely respected the Flag. But my dad and Navy so for us I don't think we had a choice lol....
