A patriotic mother has found herself becoming a viral star after television cameras captured her response when her son did not remove his hat for the national anthem.

The mom and her son were attending the Yankees-Red Sox game on Sunday when a singer began to sing the Star Spangled Banner. When the mother saw that her son had not removed his hat, she immediately yanked it off his head and handed it to him with a stern look on her face, making it clear that she was not going to tolerate him disrespecting our country.
