From Past Commander Gene Bernhardt:
A strange thing happened this weekend (June 9-10). I was in Wildwood, NJ attending the American Legion Department Convention. The town was aline with people. A hot rod care show, a motorcycle show and the AL Convention were in full swing.
Saturday a very well atended drag race was taking place on the beach. The boardwalk was crowded with people since it was a very hot beach day.
As every sporting event should do, the National Anthem was played to kick off the event.
To my surprise, every person stopped, turned to face the event, removed their capsand placed their hands on their hearts.If someone came out of a store, they also honored the National Anthem.
Take Note NFL.
Gene Bernhardt
Past Post Commander, American Legion Post 471
Note: Time stands still on the Wildwood Boardwalk each morning at 11AM, when people are asked to pause and pay respect to our Nation as the National Anthem is played. Wildwood goers refer to this tradition as something that has happened "forever." www.philly.com
