Everyone is familiar with the members of the NFL taking a knee in protest of what they see as perceived police brutality.The people who respect the military and law enforcement feel that this protest during the National Anthem is an insult to our country, to our flag and to those who serve it and are killed or injured for it.

So the country isn't perfect, it was founded with slavery in place.I can remind you that this was so throughout most of the world at that time and was in place for centuries within Europe before that.Only the people were called indentured servants and serfs.Their lives were controlled much the way as slaves were and their lives were forfeit as easily and carelessly for their rulers/owners just the same.Slavery in our distant history is not a reason to hate the U.S. or disrespect our founding fathers.The intent at the time of our founding was to create a land with freedom of speech, equality and life that was free of ruling class bigotry that existed so much in Europe at the time of our founding.

Throughout the years, humanity has attempted to rise above petty problems and differences that set us apart.I like to think that U.S. has achieved much in that aspect of the struggle.I wish people would focus on the positives and strengths of our country rather than the mistakes and stumbles along the way.It is the globalists who would have us divided in order to take a firmer hold of our blessed human freedoms and rights that has been the most difficult problem in this century.Some people play right into their hands with that in mind when they prefer to focus on the negatives.

I had these bracelets made as our counter protest and a focus on the positive attributes of the U.S. I designed them and had them made. They are adult sized and comfortable to wear.
