This was actually posted on YouTube back in November, but it’s being revived on social media this week. Virginia Tech’s basketball coach, Buzz Williams was disappointed with the way that basketball players in general behave while the National Anthem is being played at sporting events. So he lines up some veterans in front of his own players and explains the meaning of the Anthem to veterans hoping that it rubs off on the younger generation. From Inspire More<\/a>;<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI wanted the players to understand how fortunate they were to be able to play this great game, to earn a scholarship, and to have people pay money to watch them play. Everything comes at a cost and each and every one of us is fortunate that someone else, in someway, is sacrificing something so we can go about our every day lives.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
