Does anyone have a problem with an event that supports and raises funds for veterans but might also turn into or be a political event?

No one is being forced to attend. Seems like free assembly to me.

He's peaked....just like Palin when she quit her governorship.

It's a wrap...now just to find a soothingly face-saving way back to Trump Tower.

I have been unable to confirm that CNN is covering the event as reported on another FR thread.

I see no reason why a political event can’t raise money for our veterans.
