    Traditionally, a person removes his hat and places a hand over his heart as a sign of respect.  I also consider kneeling to be a form of respect.  Maybe it isn't the expected, traditional form, but it's still respectful in my opinion.

  • It means you don't respect your own country.. Attaching any other meaning is baloney..

    It’s disrespecting the country. You always stand for the Anthem. And guys are supposed to remove their caps/hats.

    I'll never understand how people got so crazy on this issue - it's not a sign of disrespect to the military at all.  It's a protest against police using excessive force

    I always thought kneeling was the ultimate sign of humility.
