One Man Stood

His coach does not like it. His “owner” does not like it. The US Media does not like it. But what else could Alejandro Villonueva do? After three tours of duty, under fire, in Afghanistan, how could this decorated veteran stay in the shadows of the tunnel while the National Anthem played? He stepped into the sunlight and placed his hand over his heart and once again ran into the battle. Today, he is not well liked for his choice by the popular culture. Here his courage and service is deeply respected.
