As the national anthem played in the distance, a high school football player on his way to practice stopped in his tracks and placed his hand on his heart.
A North Carolina high school junior is receiving a lot of attention on social media after he unknowingly was photographed while standing in a parking lot with his hand over his heart as the national anthem played in the distance. However, the student, Jacob Pope, doesn't understand why honoring the anthem has garnered so much attention.
The moment was captured by a retired teacher’s assistant, Angie Gallimore, who was attending her grandchildren’s tennis match and softball game at the school. “Any time anybody was disrespectful, he would call them out on it,” Gallimore tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “He was an upstanding student.”
