I think the emotion of the "respect thing" and the jump-on-the-bandwagon action by our elected "geniuses" is commendable, but don't they have anything else to get through the system, loaded with their parochial pork barrel bullshit?
Jes'wondering.

Your free to type on X5World because of a lot of those "dead" in our national cemetaries! For the past 2 years I have managed an Honor Guard program in the Air Force that covered six states. It was very discerning when attempting to present the flag to the heart broken next of kin and you have yahoos voicing there opinion about the war in the background. I believe in freedom of expression/speech and every other freedom that we are afforded but how about a little respect. The young men and women who risk their lives deserve it. The Airman and Soldiers who have given the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, deserve it. Demonstrating at a national cemetary has to be one of the most ignorant things Ive ever heard of. I think one of the hardest speeches Ive every given is this one, "On behalf of the President of the United States, The Department of Defense, and a greatfull nation, this flag is offered for the honorable and faithful service performed by your loved one. Today our thoughts are with you". Try keeping a dry eye while looking at someones mom, dad, wife, husband, or children in the eye as they mourn their loss. The last thing they should here or see is banners/signs/etc with individuals presenting their frustrations. Yea, we may have a lot of laws already, and there are a lot of problems that need fixing in this great country of ours but I take "Honoring Those That Served" a priority....how about you?!?
