#national anthem
I am now regretting the years when I stood with my hand over my heart like an idiot for the national anthem every morning with the rest of the class in grade school. Oh that’s right…teachers threatened us with lunch detention if we didn’t comply to this needlessly overzealous patriotism. As a matter of fact, I actually DID get a lunch detention for not standing up for the national anthem that one time…
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin, linebacker Eli Harold, defensive lineman Arik Armstead, cornerback K’Waun Williams, safety Eric Reid and defensive back Adrian Colbert all took a knee as they continued to protest police brutality against African Americans. One inactive player took a knee with his teammates.
The rest of the 49ers all stood during the anthem before Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins.

A mockery was made of the national anthem all right.
But it wasn’t by the San Francisco 49ers.
Vice President Mike Pence turned the anthem into a prop Sunday, co-opting it for a stunt that served no other purpose than to sow division, further enrage the administration’s conservative base and try to cow NFL owners. That it likely deflected attention from yet more neo-Nazi protests in Charlottesville was all the better.
Please, though, tell me again how it’s the players who are so disrespectful.
Pence was so incensed by the sight of several 49ers kneeling during the anthem at Lucas Oil Stadium that he left immediately afterward. Not so incensed that he wasn’t right there with a carefully crafted statement to let the world know of his outrage, however.
Some see kneeling during the national anthem as patriotic protest. Some see it as disrespect to flag and country. And some see it as something they don’t want to think about as they settle in to watch the football games they attend to forget the troubles of the world outside the stadium walls.
Thenational anthem was an NFL flashpoint for another Sunday, but at what seemed a lower temperature this time. The heat on display as the anthem played last Sunday came just two days after President Trump said NFL owners should fire the “son of a b—” who fail to stand when it’s playing.

March 3rd is…
Cold Cuts Day - Call them lunch meats, deli meats, sandwich meats, or cold cuts. Some like them thick, while others stack them a mile high. Others still just like them with cheese and crackers. However you like them, National Cold Cuts Day was made for sandwich and snack makers.
Hospitalist Day - Hospitalists manage patient care throughout their inpatient stay and have been proven to reduce readmissions while also serving as leaders in quality improvement and patient safety.
I Want You To Be Happy Day - Encourages us to do something that makes others happy. It also asks us to see others’ happiness from their point of view. Putting a smile on someone’s face tends to put one on ours, too.
Mulled Wine Day - Mulled spirits are wine and liquors that have been heated and spiced. Mulled wine is usually made with red wine with various spices, fruits and sometimes slightly sweetened with honey. Popular blends include cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus, vanilla, anise, cloves, raisins, or pears. Wine was first recorded as spiced and heated in First Century Rome. The combination of heated spirits and spices is a warm welcome on a cold winter’s day and has long been considered a balm against illness during this time of year.
National Anthem Day - Commemorates the day the United States adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as its National Anthem. Written by Francis Scott Key, the “Star-Spangled Banner” became the National Anthem in 1931.
Soup It Forward Day - When making one of your favorite soups at home, Soup it Forward. Deliver a healing pot of your delicious chicken noodle or split pea to a family or friend in need. Perhaps they have been ill or down on their luck. Whatever the situation, a little of your home cooking and a visit will be a nice change.
World Hearing Day - Raises awareness about hearing loss prevention. It’s also a day that promotes ear and hearing care.According to the World Health Organization, 466 million people worldwide, or 5 percent of the world’s population, are affected by hearing loss. Thirty-four million of those affected by hearing loss are children. If we do nothing, over 900 million people will have disabling hearing loss by 2050.

They say I’m to young to love you…
Lights, camera, action I’ll do it on my own
1 : 동해 물과 백두산이 마르고 닳도록 하느님이 보우하사 우리나라 만세
Until that day when the waters of the East Sea run dry and Mt. Baekdu is worn away, God protect and preserve our nation.
2 : 남산 위에 저 소나무 철갑을 두른 듯 바람서리 불변함은 우리 기상일세
As the pine atop namsan mountain stands firm, unchanged through wind and frost, as if wrapped in armour, so shall our resilient spirit.
3 : 가을 하늘 공활한데 높고 구름 없이 밝은 달은 우리 가슴 일편단심일세
The Autumn sky is void and vast, high and cloudless; the bright moon is whole-hearted devotion.
4 : 이 기상과 이 맘으로 충성을 다하여 괴로우나 즐거우나 나라 사랑하세
With this spirit and this mind, give all loyalty, in suffering or in joy, to the love of country.
Chorus : 무궁화 삼천리 화려 강산 대한 사람 대한으로 길이 보전하세
Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains, filled with Roses of Sharon; Great Korean people, stay true to the Great Korean way!
