The American servicemen and women of the Guard and Reserve leave their jobs, their spouses and their children to wear the uniform that defends our country.

I realize that men and women of the military go out and sacrifice their lives and put their selves in harm's way for my freedom of speech and my freedoms in this country, and my freedom to take a seat or take a knee, so I have the utmost respect for them, and I think what I did was taken out of context and spun a different way.
