The men's basketball team gathered to discuss the meaning of the National Anthem and recognize those who have served.

This four-minute video is a "must watch". I cannot summarize the emotional impact for you.

I received this in an email, reposted on another website that made it sound as if this speech by the VT coach was a response to the Kapernick shenanigans. It is not - Virginia Tech basketball coach Buzz Williams will not have that behavior in his house. Instead, he chose to proactively show his players why we stand for the national anthem. We do it to honor the men and women who sacrificed so much so we can enjoy our freedom at home.

This video was made on Veterans Day 2015 and has nearly 2 million views on YouTube. It should have 10 million more...
