Set aside for a moment, the differing opinions on whether or not it is appropriate to politicize the Memorial Day parade and please consider this:
City officials already use this venue to campaign at the taxpayer’s expense. Shouldn’t the citizen’s who pay for the parade be given equal time?

In my opinion, this ultimately comes down to the First Amendment, which is after all part of what those we honor died fighting to protect. Either all should be allowed to march, or the parade should be restricted to veterans.
For those who will be watching the parade this Monday: Please remember to remove your hats when our people in uniform march by.

I AGREE WITH BOTH HANK AND JIM.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR MY 'RANT'.
MEMORIAL DAY.IN HONOR OF THOSE THAT GAVE ALL IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY.IN THE REVOLUTION OUR WARRIORS DIED TO ESTABLISH A LAND DEDICATED TO FREE MEN.IN THE CIVIL WAR MEN FOUGHT TO PRESERVE THIS FRAGILE NEW LAND,THE LAND WAS SATURATED WITH THE BLOOD OF RIGHTOUS MORAL MEN.IN WW2 OUR WARRIORS FOUGHT AND DIED TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM THE NAZIS AND JAPANESE IMPERIALISTS.AND OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS GENERATION DID SAVE THE WORLD!THEY GAVE MIGHTILY OF BODY AND SOUL.AND THEY DID SAVE THE WORLD FROM BLOOD THIRSTY,CRUEL,RACIST,TYRANNY THE LIKES OF WHICH WOULD HAVE ANNIHILATED OR ENSLAVE ALL FREE MEN IN THE WORLD.
HOW DISRESPECTFULL,FORGETFULL,AND HEARTLESS HAVE WE ALL BECOME?
NOT TO MENTION IGNORANT,AND OBLIVIOUS OF THE STRUGGLES AND SACRAFICES THAT SO MANY OF OUR BRETHEREN HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIVES,THEIR BONE,FLESH AND BLOOD. LIMBS TORN,BONES SHATTERED,AND SPILLED NOT ONLY ON OUR SOIL,BUT LANDS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
THIS NOT ABOUT POLITICIANS.NOT A DEBATE ON THE MORALLITY OF WAR.NOT ABOUT THE FRICKIN LEGAL RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AND FREE BECAUSE OF THE ULTIMATE SACRAFICE THAT INNUMERABLE UNSELFISH FELLOW CITIZENS MADE.
THIS IS ABOUT SHOWING RESPECT FOR THE DEAD!GIVING THANKS TO THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES SO WE CAN STAY FREE.YES,STAY FREE.
WE HAVE TO FIGHT,AND DIE TO STAY FREE.AND YA'LL BETTER THANK GOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO STAND BETWEEN YOU AND THOSE WHO WOULD ENSLAVE YOU.AND THEY'LL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR YOU,AND YOUR FAMILY.
I'M DISGUSTED WITH WHERE WE ARE HEADED IN THIS SUBURB,AND THIS WHOLE COUNTRY.IT'S SICKENING.
