    Thanks for the “heads up”. It did bring a smile to my face.

    All the local Denver tv stations have been blasting the local airwaves with a piece of crap advertisement from moveon.org (barf). It has some so-called republican bragging about voting for Obama.

    This alternative to that “moveon” garbage was refreshing!

    This boy is acting from his heart, his soul. He hasn’t been trained, taught, or conditioned to do this. It is heartwarming to know the American spirit is alive and well. The haters will soon be chewing on this story. We need to bite back.

    I am proud of my neighbors. I also live in Evergreen. If I ever get the chance, I will give kudos to Jeffery, and thank the Sahlis.

    And in addition to this, how cool are the people of Evergreen Colorado?

    That story is really moving. I am here in Iraq (as a civilian this time around) and it does my heart good to know that there are still truly patriotic out there. This boy will be a fine young man one day and I am certain that this is not the last time we will here of him.

    Great kid, amazing what happens when you raise your son right, with respect and honor.

    This is a lot more common than we think - but rarely reported on. We have a lot of good kids, it’s the little s-heads that get all the press.

    Just keep raising your kids in the way you know best. There’s a reason the majority of the non-coastal United States votes conservatively.

    Seventh grade flag duty was one of the best experiences of my life. I wouldn’t give up those ice-covered mornings for the world.

    Keep it up, Jeffrey, and thanks for the inspiring words.

    Contrast that to the students in/near Minneapolis who were suspended for not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance, and the rush of fools who came to their defense.

    I’d rather tout this young man’s accomplishments anyday. Good for him, from my corner of Colorado.
