When the American flag passed by during a homecoming parade in Leesburg, wheelchair-bound Arek Trenholm used all the strength he had to stand up in honor of Old Glory
16-year-old Arek Trenholm of Leesburg, Florida is a spina bifida victim. He has been wheelchair-bound for the past 10 years.
Earlier this month Arek was sitting in his wheelchair watching Leesburg’s high school homecoming parade. As the American flag approached, Arek used all the strength in his arms to force himself to stand up in honor of Old Glory.
His mother says that despite his debilitating illness, he’s been standing for national anthems, pledges of allegiance and flags since he was very young. You can’t get much more patriotic than that.
Compare Arek’s patriotism to the disloyalty of assholes like Colin Kaepernick. Compare Arek’s pride in our flag to the disgraceful performance of the national anthem by Denasia Lawrence before an NBA game in Miami where she knelt as she sang and ripped open her jacket to display her Black Lives Matter t-shirt.
Arek puts to shame all those assholes that are kneeling during the playing or singing of the anthem. Furthermore he also puts to shame NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the coaches of high school, college and pro teams who support the kneeling of their players during the national anthem.
God bless Arek Trenholm!
