Unlike baseball and football, have we all noticed that always at the U.S. Open (Tennis) they do not play our National Anthem? This is done so as not to offend the other nations' players. When it comes to our billions in aid, these nations have their hands out.

And the U.S.M.C. does the Tennis' bidding by supplying a color guard and 30 others to hold the large flag. Our Marines have courage in battle, but none on the tennis court.
