patriotism

Man, financial website, Wallethub, has it out for Michigan or something. First they rank us as the fifth worst state for a summer road trip (Excuse me? Have they not heard of the miles of gorgeous coastline along the amazing Great Lakes? Sleeping Bear Dunes? The Mackinac Bridge?) --  and now they are saying Michigan comes in as only the 42nd most patriotic state in the U.S. What?

Today on Segment 16, the guys are disgusted by a school's decision to ban patriotic honor cords at a high school graduation. Greenville's senior class has some graduates who are going into military service and were given red, white, and blue cords for the ceremony. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to wear them, because "the line has to be drawn somewhere".

His shirt shows a pair of boots, a helmet and a gun, with the words "Standing for those who stood for us."  Now obviously, this is a representation of his patriotism, but the school didn't see it that way.

No matter where you are, the national anthem is a big deal. It seems that the U.S.' national anthem is even a big deal in Canada. That's right, even in Canada!
