Thanks for your post which should end this argument! Frankly, the naming of the ship for Gabrielle Giffords upsets and offends me MUCH more. At least Governor Christie chose to TEMPORARILY acknowledge the death of a prominent citizen of the state of New Jersey. That ship was PERMANENTLY named for a woman whose name was unknown outside the state of Arizona until she had the misfortune to be shot by a mentally incompetent man!

LOL I had the same reaction to the ship naming...what the heck?! Giffords didn’t DO anything.

At least Whitney did a fantastic job singing the National Anthem.
