The National Anthem began to play and 69-year-old Tom Aue, a military veteran, paused his ticket taking job at the Cincinnati, Ohio, minor league stadium, to honor the flag. He said that he took off his hat, and paused, only to be told by the owner to keep ticketing.
The owner, Clint Brown, said he had safety concerns, but was willing to accommodate Tom, so he could take time to salute the flag, by moving him to another job post. Tom says he was fired.

I agree, all the other people around him should have followed his example and done the same.
WTF
military flag rules allow for a soldier performing a duty with might be endangered if they were to stop and salute the flag, not to do so…. Kind of same here.. He should have been told he cannot stop his job to pay respect and move on from that point.
Is this even AMERICA ?,,, Nobody is willing to STAND UP against the Downfall of OUR NATION ?
READ the article. The owner said he did not fire him but offered him another position.
Anyone who does anything disrespectful to any Veteran should be so ashamed of themselves. These Vets put their lives on thee line for our freedom to love our country or to hate it. Our Vets even gave their lives for us.
We now live in a socialist country since Obama started ruling!!
DISGUSTING
This makes me sick…almost literally.
