Trevor Keezer, a 20 year old worker at Home Depot was fired because of a button he wore with the words on it "one nation under God, indivisible." He says how he has worn the button for 19 months ever since working as the cashier. For more than a year, the managers never said a word about the button except for a supervisor who commented on it saying she liked it. He sees the button as a way of supporting the troops at war and expressing his christian faith. His manager finally confronted him when him when trevor brought his bible to work. He was asked to remove the button due to it violating the dress code policy, however trevor kept it on and was sent home because of it. He stated his reason for not taking it off is because he supports the troops and is standing up for something that is bigger than us.
I believe that Trevor did a brave act considering his job was on the line. Its small actions like these that truly show the passion and love we have for our country. People may think its just a button, who cares he should of taken it off. However thats not all it is, it represents so much more and stands for being able to back up our troops and country.
