BUT, honoring veterans is one of the most honorable things that any citizen can do. I don’t care who they are, where they work, or anything about their past. Its honorable, and deserves the respect of every citizen no matter what your personal feelings on the subject or your belief’s. Those who use this as a means of forwarding their personal agenda should be ashamed of themselves. I am certainly ashamed of you.
If every citizen should honor veterans, why does TSA insist on patting down every veteran who is over 80 years old?
