hear about pows from our vietnam war. men like mike christian who literally risked his life just for the chance, just for the opportunity to show respect to our flag. he was a pow. he sewed a american flag on the inside of his shirt. when the guards found it they beat him an inch of his life for doing so. because is he such an american bad ass when they pulled him back in the cell he pulled out bamboo needled and started stitching the american flag. that s the importance of our pledge and anthem and the stars and stripes on our flag. not to be taken lightly. abby: it gives you chills. steve: it does. brian, you are somebody who just the act of standing means something special. you better believe it i don t take it for granted one instance. when i was injured i got about 67 plus friends that i see on prosthetics every single day. guys who lost two limbs, three limbs, four limbs,
combat power. but, at the same time, all of those skills for combat power translate to we can do humanitarian assistance. the officers tell me that their marines will be accompanying them as they restore power to hospitals throughout this beleeringed, besieged battered commonwealth. on a personal note, we had a wonderful reunion late last night our aunt ellie 84-year-old aunt. my father s youngest sibling. we found her. she was alive and well. without power and without water, but she is healthy and we were delighted. back to you guys in new york. abby: how amazing for them to have seen your face, geraldo. heart warming. brian: of course the president will be there tuesday. congressman brian mast just sent a powerful message to all those anthem protesters with this powerful picture. is he between two american
have gotten a lot of support on facebook. steve: sure. from veterans, other law enforcement officers. gold star mothers. and, of course, i have gotten some hate mail. steve: yep. on facebook. i take that for what it s worth. steve: erich what should the players be doing instead of kneeling? i believe kneeling, is, to me, is the players saying there s a problem, someone else fix it. i believe if they went out into the community, took some time and did something for a solution as opposed to just kneeling and saying someone else fix this. be a solution. do something about it. steve: well, have you got your sunday afternoons available now. what are you going to do? yes, sir. spend a lot of time with my wife, my children, my grandson, my parents. steve: well, good for you.
