So happy he could make it! /s
I was supposed to be an usher at my sisters wedding but got deployed and couldn’t make it.
Plenty of service folks deployed who have to sacrifice significant family events. If it’s OK for them, then the same should apply for this senator.
Absolutely.
Politicians love to say they are serving our country, often try to make it seem as though what they do is similar to military service.
Nope. I agree with you. Senators should be willing to make sacrifices when it is for the good of the country. If not they are in the wrong job.
I've been saying the same thing all night.
My dad was a 27 year lifer in the US Army. I can't tell you how many birthdays, graduations, football games, funerals, weddings, christenings, recitals, plays, and anniversaries he missed during those years.
You know what? No one in my family ever faulted him for it. It was his DUTY.
