The Burroughs High School football team in Ridgecrest marched onto the football field waving large American flags as Lee Greenwood's beloved, "God Bless the U.S.A." played on the public-address system.

Several listeners of the Todd Starnes Radio Show alerted us to the massive public display of patriotism. They pointed out the significance difference between how high school football players treat the flag and how professional football players treat the flag.

"We live in a military town and the kids have been frustrated with all the recent events going on," head coach Todd Mather told HighSchoolFootballAmerica.com. "They wanted to show that we are lucky to live in the greatest country on earth and that we ALL need to get back to respecting our flag and national anthem. We wanted to show the power of our community, our teams brotherhood and to stand on the shoulder of our parents and grandparents, who instilled the respect, integrity, character and work ethic in us for this great country and community."

At the conclusion of the song, the game announcer told the crowd they were living in the "best country on the face of this Earth."

"At Burroughs football game – we are standing," he declared. "We are standing for the national anthem."

The young men on the football team and the good citizens of Ridgecrest should be commended for their public display of patriotism.

They reminded the nation that there are plenty of folks across the fruited plain who are proud to be Americans.
