If you don’t love it, leave it

We didn’t get this country handed to us. Men and women fought for our freedom and rights. Our veterans deserve better from the NFL players. Veterans deserve our respect and prayers.

If you want to protest something, do it without disrespecting America and what we stand for: “One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all!”

Remember all our brave men and women who have lived and died for our freedom. Look and see what other country you can go to and demonstrate — none!

I believe in this country, and I love it. I love my freedom and my life I have here because of the brave men and women who fought wars to keep us free.

Everyone should thank God for what we have. If you don’t love it — leave it. See if you can find as good of a life in another country.

“God bless America.”

Anne Caldana, Port Matilda
