The Rev. Howard Moody, a liberal...

...religious leader and World War II veteran, died at age 91. From his obit in the Times: 

Mr. Moody hated what he considered mindless patriotism, and in a 1970 sermon took on fans at Yankee Stadium who had berated another fan for not taking off his hat during the national anthem. 

“One fanatic patriot walked down and snatched off his hat and tried to put it in his hands,” the minister concluded. “But he didn’t have any hands — he had lost them in the war.”
