Forget NFL Players: These Roofers Stood and Saluted the Flag for the National Anthem
With all of the news about NFL players kneeling for the National Anthem, some workers are still paying respect. Take three roofers in Maine.
Working near Waterville High School’s football field, the roofers stood for the Star-Spangled Banner while standing on top of a house.
Michelle Lyons Cossar, a resident of Old Town captured the moment. She noticed the men standing as she stood for the National Anthem at the football game. “When I looked over the fence, I saw them standing and respecting the flag,” she said. “I just thought the world could use a little more of that right now.”
One of the roofers, Dwayne Harrison, told Fox News that standing for our National Anthem “was the right thing to do.” “It is a respect thing for myself — we did not do this to prove a point.” He added that the men were not aware they were being photographed.
Cossar posted the photo on Facebook and it has been shared over 1,000 times so far.
