Anthem protests disrespectful

I realize that our president does not always say the right thing; however, he is still our president. I come from a military family, both past and present. I have several nephews currently serving our country. Standing for and representing the American flag is their life. They are willing to give their life for us. Many do lose their lives standing up for this country and come home with the American flag draped on their coffin. Then we watch and see the protests on TV and the disrespect for the American flag and all it stands for. Sorry but this is wrong!
