## Resource

A Vietnam vet at Wrigley Field smacked a seated fan during the national anthem after asking him to stand — an act he instantly regretted. The viral video sparked a national debate over patriotism, free speech, and context, as Chavez explained the fan had even offered him a beer before the incident. Security intervened, the matter was reportedly resolved, and the Cubs urged respect for tradition while honoring personal choice. Chavez admitted he overreacted and felt the internet missed the full story. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
