Tania Duenas Sweeney, a military mom in Germany’s Ramstein Air Base, captured a moment of her son and friends pausing their trampoline fun at 5 p.m. every weekday. The American and German national anthems play, prompting a display of respect. Sweeney shared the image on Facebook, emphasizing the boys’ spontaneous show of patriotism. She appreciates how kids on base automatically stop, face anthems, and learn respect early on. Sweeney notes anthem observance during activities like baseball practice, where hats come off, instilling a deep sense of pride. Military kids sacrifice for their parents, and Sweeney posted to recognize their often overlooked efforts. She commends the boys for respecting the USA voluntarily, embodying the values instilled in them.
