I thought about writing this post but I didn't want it to be political..... It's not.
We are at the Sturgis Rally and stopped in at One Eyed Jack's Saloon down...town. We were at the outside bar area with several hundred bikers of all walks of life. A couple of young female scantily clad bartenders jump up on one of the bars with a microphone... My first thought was "Coyote Ugly"... What happened next was surprising. One of them started singing the national anthem Acapella. Everyone stopped drinking and stood up. Most with hands over hearts. Not one person said a word.... And not one person kneeled (although that would not have gone over well by my guess)...
When she finished and everyone cheered.... The pledge of allegiance broke out and EVERYONE recited it.
At the end.... Everyone cheered and then went back to what they were doing.
Everyone participated
Young
Old
All colors and race
Men and women
It brought back memories of 9/11 when we all celebrated being just Americans
Nothing political
No anger
No demonstrations
I miss that!!
