I Stand

[Pine Mt Beagles]

‪"I Stand So That You Can Kneel."‬

‪I stand to honor the promise the flag represents.‬
‪You kneel because that promise has been broken.‬
‪I stand to affirm my belief that all are created equal, and to fight alongside you for that promise.‬
‪You kneel because too few stand with you.‬
‪I stand because we can be better.‬
‪You kneel to remind us to be better.‬
‪I stand to honor all that have fought and died so that we may be free.‬
‪You kneel because not all of us are.‬
‪I stand because I can.‬
‪You kneel for those who can't.‬
‪I stand to defend your right to kneel.‬
‪You kneel to defend my right to stand.‬
‪I stand because I love this country.‬
‪You kneel because you love it too. ‬
