I think it was Republican John LeBoutlier who said Trump should have acknowledged the veterans. “All he had to do was add three sentences.”

I stand corrected... my statement above (posted last night) is incorrect. I went back and watched my DVR of last night's "Fox Report" on FNC so I could hear it again.

I'm NOT defending RINO John LeBoutillier, but he did NOT say that Trump should have acknowledged our veterans. Trump most certainly DID acknowledge all U.S. veterans yesterday at the big Rolling Thunder rally in DC, as he *always* does acknowledge and give thanks to all U.S. veterans.

LeBoutillier -- who spoke at yesterday's DC rally just before Trump -- said Trump never apologized or walked back his statement criticizing Sen. John McCain for being a POW.

LeBoutillier then said that the Rolling Thunder rally in DC is held every year "mostly to call attention to American POWs still held in overseas prisons". He said it was a shame that Trump never mentioned POWs during his speech yesterday to the Rolling Thunder rally audience, many of whom had traveled from all over the U.S. to Washington DC specifically to call attention to our POWs. LeBoutillier said: "All Trump had to do was add three sentences" (acknowledging our POWs).

I'm a Trump supporter by the way.
