Admiral Calls Out Kaepernick During Pearl Harbor Speech

"You can bet that the men and women that we honor today - and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago - never took a knee and never failed to stand when they heard our national anthem being played," Harris said.
The comment brought the crowd to their feet for a lengthy round of applause.
