Good on him! We need to be better about respecting other countries' national anthems. I try to be, but honestly sometimes don't know it's an anthem till halfway through it. Obviously other people at attention helps.

Nice respect and much appreciated by not only a foreign national but a well known athlete.

That is refreshing news, thanks for sharing Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS. Athletes from other nations pausing to honor our national anthem should help to remind us and our leaders in Washington that people outside this nation remember what the USA has stood for.

And to think that this Jamaican man stopped his interview for our national anthem, but we have American atheletes that have no respect for it at all. This gentleman has class!
