Putnam County sets up Row of Honor, has stand in for unity

Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell ordered the county's Row of Honor in Carmel set up this weekend.  She also held a demonstration yesterday called "Stand Up For America" where the National Anthem played and residents stood together in unity for America.

 

Odell said it wasn't about race, but about respect for Veterans and standing with those who have sacrificed themselves to protect the safety of others. 

 

Putnam County Veteran Service Agency Director Karl Rohde said he believes the U.S. Supreme Court was wrong when they ruled a few years ago that burning the American Flag was free speech.  He says the disrespect that some NFL players are displaying is "as vile as the burning of the American Flag" and disputes their claims that they do not mean to disrespect Veterans.
