Thread: Memorial Day Holiday

The volunteers should have a listen to the Pope.

Many powerful people don't want peace as they live off war.

No politics today. Only humility, awe and gratitude for those in uniform who gave everything for their nation...

You really are disgraceful at times, BM

BM And get nothing back

Right.

No grave sites.
No flags.
No humility

Just me, me, me.

BM just out of interest any of these Memorial day ceremonies, did they have any of the Homeless vets standing up front and the douche bag war mongers acknowledging there existence and celebrating there efforts in the wars for profits.?

It's been an all-volunteer แปล military for quite some time now

Best to remove the แปล before you post; if you reveal that you're constantly looking up the Thai which you gratuitously insert into your posts, you look like even more of a twat. But for future reference, you could say (though I'm not sure if this is the best way - you might want to check with a native speaker) สหรัฐฯ ไม่มีเกณฑ์ทหาร

On Monday morning, the President will host a breakfast in honor of Memorial Day. Veteran and Military Family Service Organizations and senior military leadership will be in attendance, as well as organizations that support the families of the fallen, including the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors; Gold Star Mothers; Gold Star Wives, Sons and Daughters in Touch. This breakfast in the State Dining Room is closed press.

Later in the morning, the President will travel to Arlington National Cemetery where he will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and deliver remarks. The wreath-laying as well as the President’s remarks are open to pre-credentialed media.

That's a really, really small soldier, with an extraordinarily long rifle. Do you like that picture because the artist also lacks a sense of perspective, Booner?

Seems the dogs are going to be taken care of.

. . . but that ruins a great 'zinger' . . .

George W. Bush Texas Air National Guard - Served in U.S. during Vietnam War.

After April 1972, Bush may have failed to meet the attendance requirements established for members of the Air National Guard. In mid-1972, he failed to meet the Air Force requirement for an annual physical examination for pilots, and lost his authorization to be a pilot.

Correct statement. Of course it's all relative. And if you use "none" as your frame of reference, you are indeed correct.

If you really cared about the dead you'd be enraged at their pointless slaughter instead of celebrating it.

1 out of 365 days in a year we honor our men and women who died while serving in the military. Is that really so bad Bob? Aren't the other 364 days in a year enough to try to make people feel bad? Must I piss in the wheaties of families who lost family members in wars? Why can't you just stand down for one day? Right or wrong it seems to me we can afford to set aside 1 day to show some respect for their sacrifice.

^I never said we shouldn't.
