• Respect Has No Expiration Date

  When 98 year-old Pete DuPre, a World War II veteran, put his harmonica to his lips and played our national anthem, tears came to my eyes. This was before the friendly game between the US women’s soccer team and Mexico, a chance for both teams to work out kinks before the Olympics open in a…
