A lack of respect, dedication

I never thought I would be seeing what I am seeing today. There is a lack of respect, dedication and commitment, especially in the case of absent fathers.
The downturn happened in the early 1970s when the draft ended. I am wondering how many young men register for the draft when they turn 18. I also wonder if our professional athletes have signed up.
I will never “take a knee” except in church or for a fallen soldier.
