College Students Disrespect Veterans at the Warrior Beach Retreat

Twice a year Panama City Beach welcomes our wounded heroes into the community for the Warrior Beach Retreat, but an event aimed at honoring our nation's veterans took a different turn at their hotel.

A group of college students didn't show these veterans the respect they deserve.

"They actually spit on me and my service dog as well, and that's just so disrespectful and it hurts. I come and I feel honored and I feel safe and that I belong, but now I feel like I'm defending myself," said wounded veteran Nicholas Connole.

Veterans say they were shocked at the level of disrespect these college students had. They told me that they threw beer on them from their balconies and even spit on them.

Linda Cope, founder of the Warrior Beach Retreat, says she's never seen such disgusting behavior.

"They're a total disgrace for our military," she siad. "They were urinating on the American flag they were throwing things off of the balconies."

Say what you want about Timeshare Companies, but both Shell Vacations Club and Wyndham have special pools for leftover Resort points that are due to expire, and owners (such as myself) can donate their points to provide a week vacation for a wounded veteran and their family at a really classy all-inclusive resort with NO college students.

I usually use most of my points every year, but whatever is left goes right into the pool.

Sickening. Greta gave it a good coverage.

A quiet yet imposing visit from a USMC unit or Navy SEAL unit would provide some critically needed education lessons to these selfish college jerks. Perhaps the college jerks are quite representative of the ideals that current reside within the White House. Enough said!

Panama City Beach has become a black rioters/shooter’s circus, a white drunks paradise, and endorsed by businesses who don’t care about public safety.

Only the Chief of Police has had the balls to say, “Shut the beaches down during Spring Break week” in order to save lives.

Another significant sign of the downfall of American society. Welcome to Rome, 400 AD. “We have seen the barbarians, and they are us”.

I used to refer to things as “so September 10th” when they were from the pre-9/11 attacks and had diminished in relevance in that post-attack world; when Obama was elected in 2008 we had officially moved into the “September 12th” era. The assaults on family, faith, the Constitution, and tradition are hallmarks of the September 12th USA.

Most young people today have no use for the military except as an employer of last resort; I guess that was bound to happen when so few of the young people themselves are American anyway.
