Did anybody point out to the VA that graves are generally outside?
This would be very easy to do safely, in the absence of fascist bureaucrats that is.

If it’s important to you and your organization, then go out and do it anyway.

You know the President. He will do it himself if he has to but more likely our soldiers will do it. It will get done.

Ridiculous! But I thought the Boy Scouts disbanded after caving to the queer agenda. I guess not.

The left is using the WuFlu as an excuse to ban everything on their pet peeve list. Here, it is to the benefit of these kids to be out in the fresh air and sun but, because the left hates any recognition of people better than themselves, they bring out the ban hammer. It would be a good civics lesson for these kids if the local adults would accompany them in a little civil disobedience to the ban-atics and place the flags anyway.

Ask them this question: Who does planting the flags endanger, and how does it endanger them?

This memorial doesn’t post flags. They hold a ceremony.

If they are holding it, we’ll be there.

That’s a good idea to go anyway.

The Midnight Marauders need to appear.

This is an outlandish abuse of power.

I guess we need to worry about young people with no history of COVID-19 infecting dead veterans.

Do it anyway. How far are we going to let this go? Does anyone realize that the country is slipping away as we speak?

Yes, it is letting in girls, hence the rename to Scouts USA.
