The Little Miami students, Brady Williams and Jarad Bentley had been told by the school district in Ohio on 9-11 to not bring flags on the field. They did it anyway and paid the price. It has been widely reported now that the students were reinstated now after outrage ensued. But there is more good news for those patriotic kids today. The tweet below highlights initial reporting:
“Two Little Miami football players pay the price for civil disobedience. They were told not to carry onto the field thin blue line and thin red line flags at their 9/11 game. They did anyway. The school has now suspended them from the team indefinitely.”

It is now being reported that things are getting even better. Williams and Bentley have made their marks, and are now receiving college scholarships by a non-profit group called Holidays for Heroes. “Brady and Jarad are true PATRIOTS, they did something last Friday that showed they are far beyond their years,”… “These men stood up for a cause they believe in. As they took the field with flags in hand it reminded us how we felt 19 years ago, heartbroken yet strong and united.”, the group said.
So far it is not being disclosed how much the scholarships are worth, but in this crazy world we live in, any news like this is good news and a major win for the good guys in our view.
