DAVIDSON COUNTY, North Carolina (KETK) – A North Carolina football player’s patriotic moment was caught in camera when he stopped dead in his tracks to honor his country.
Jacob Pope was walking to practice when he heard the national anthem playing in the distance at a girl’s softball game.
He stopped to honor the moment, not knowing a teacher was watching him.
“No one was there. I just stopped because it was the right thing to do.”
