Friday’s protest is just one the many demonstrations where Utahn’s have gathered to make their voice heard in response to the killing of George Floyd and others who have died at the hands of violent acts by law enforcement.

I'm the Marine who stood at attention for 3 hours in 100 degree heat in full dress uniform until I nearly passed out from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Do me the honor of reading this message I've spent the last two days preparing.

I wish I could have stood there with my medals displayed saying the same thing. I'm proud of him.

This takes courage. This is what it means to respect the flag.

I wish the people here to push their bullshit agendas about what they believe patriotism is would look at this thread.
