When President Lincoln accepted the African-American men into the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy, on January 1, 1863, 179,000 enlisted, and 40,000 gave their very lives for our Country.
Unfortunately, former NFL player Colin K., when “kneeling” before the American Flag, has forgotten this most honorable chapter in American History.
