Skip Davenport Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 AND OUR PRESIDENT DECIDED HE'S NOT GOING TO ARLINGTON TO LAY A WREATH AT THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLIDER THIS YEAR.. HOW SAD FOR ALL THE VETS THAT PAID A PRICE SO EVEN HE COULD BE WHERE HE IS.. Well, I for one am glad he isn't there. However, he will be at a different National Commentary. But that's only to show face as he doesn't respect the sacrifice of those that have given there all so he can be where he is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizzard Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I was at Rocky Gap Veteran's Cemetary with VVA chapter 172 honor guard, we did a field burial program on Saturday. Glad i can still do those thinsg, and it will take a lot to make me quit. Maryland's Governor O'Malley was at Rocky Gap, first governor that has been there since ihave been goin. Oh, yeah, election year, forgot. As for Obama.well guys, let's just hope that people finally realize what he has in mind, and maybe he will be a "one and done." I personallyfelt it an insult to every vet buried in arlington when the likes of draft dodger slick willy, 'stay at home W." or Obama pretended to honor them in years past. At leasr Biden has a son in the military..........But remember this guys, the vast majority of people on this board are/were military. Every damn one of you did a good job, and should be proud of it. I think most have some form of combat experience. One tough bunch of people to snowball. it is my belief that this country will get to the point where it will clear the board once and for all, and put it back the way it was, and once again be the country we were proud to serve. All gave some, some gave all!!!!!!!! load clear P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Sanchez Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks to all who sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom to be the best nation in the world. May we never forget their gift. thanks to all of you who gave of your time to also give us the same gift. You should be thanked every day. We have many heros that did not die but gave of themselves. I would especially like to thank my fellow Viet Nam friends because you didn't receive the heros welcome you deserved. wil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
