FURKIN: "The PA announcer says, 'Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.' So I said, 'Let’s go’. The kids get up, in this particular case, 24 kids in class and 22 got up. You know, so I say, ‘Thank you very much, all of you that participated. I appreciate that. I’m sure all of those families that lost loved ones so we could have the freedoms we have today would appreciate that, too.’ And that’s what I said.”
