I’ll tell where this leads onto. You will end up with five-hundred military folks in some massive parade planning episode....spending sixteen hours a day trying to get x-number of tasks planned and coordinated. You will end up with every single GI within 20 miles of DC detailed out to the parade and thousands trucked in...just to make some statement.
I’d rather see a simplified memorial service...done on the 11th of November, and remember the fallen.
The 11th of November’s origins are the end of the First World War! The 4th of July is the date on which we declared our INDEPENDENCE which led to the Revolution heard around the world. It is the birthday of the greatest country the world has ever seen. The war was won by our bedraggled soldiers with the help of the French. A minority of our countrymen fought for our independence and yet we all have profited by their valor for generations. We need to CELEBRATE our Armed Forces every day!
