45 advocates forced ritual in NFL...

[Amarok]

Came across this in my reading tonight:

Gilmore, who lives in Charlottesville, said he saw the president's comments as an attempt to use veterans and patriotism to say people don't have the right to protest.

Who would have more moral authority than a World War II veteran to speak about what patriotism really means? That's what Gilmore thought on seeing his grandfather's photo, taken about 1,000 miles away in Springfield, Mo.

Gilmore tweeted the photo Sunday morning, assuming that it would be seen by his friends and small group of followers, he said.

The message from Middlemas, the nonagenarian war veteran: "Those kids have every right to protest."
