Kneeling is not disrespectful to our flag

“Genuflection: bending at least one knee to the ground, typically in worship or as a sign of respect.”

Regarding Colin Rand Kaepernick, I want to remind my dear fellow Americans, whether Republican or Democrat, whichever political persuasion you choose to align yourself under, that to kneel during a football game does not constitute any disrespect to our beloved country or mean any disrespect to our precious flag.

Do you know the meanings of the colors of the flag?

White is for purity and innocence;Red is for hardiness and valor;Blue is for vigilance, perseverance and justice.From one proud, disabled, Hispanic female, Mr. President, please watch your language, because foul language is not Christian and no pastor would condone such behavior.
