I read where there is a big uproar about one of the football players that refuses to honor the flag

He is black and I stand with him even though I am white
After this nation exposing me to radiation being under 5 yrs old (Handford in the 1940's)
and letting one of my children die needlessly because we didn't have enough money to pay the doctor
and welfare said she was $3 over the allowable limit for help with medical care and you who are outraged at the lack of respect for the flag and the pledge apparently think my country right or wrong. I resent this nation and wish I had been born in one of the developed European countries. If I had I would still have my daughter and her daughter would have a mother that she lost at 15 1/2 yrs old. And I would not have lost 3/4 of my thyroid due to 3 separate types of cancer (Handford exposure as a child).
Maybe it is time some of you start thinking and giving a damn about others.
Again the way you improve something is recognize the problem instead of denying it exists.
