A Denver radio host helped organize this and is on the trip. He's straight news, not opinion, but has been active in honoring vets.
He indicated they had to involve a Congressman last night to get DOD to budge.
All they had to do was tell the military they’re taking one of Pelosi’s grandkids with them. That would have gotten it done quickly.
This is wonderful news. I was so upset that these Veterans might not be able to make this trip after all they did for us so long ago. Maybe some of them might never get the chance again. GOD bless them. Every one of them.
Too busy flying Pelosi’s ass to San Francisco!
How ironic. Honoring brave Vets the same day Obozo attempts to take away the very freedoms they fought for.
They took that hellhole for the USA and they should get a free trip there any damn time they want.
We should of never given the Island back.
I am a veteran of Vietnam, but I do not expect the military to fly me over there just because I am a Vietnam veteran. If these veterans are willing to pay their own way, that is great; however, the tax payers should not be obligated to pay for their trips.
If the military can fly ass-hat Pelosi and her family cross-country on a regular basis, they should be able to fly these guys to the battlefield where so many gave their life’s blood to capture. There never should have been a problem with it to begin with.
My guess is that Marine Commandant Conway got wind of what was going on and told the bureaucracy to get those vets on the next plane out to Iwo or else.
“The military changed its mind”?!?!?!!!!!
It’s outrageous that the DOD ever thought NOT to assist in the anniversary of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima!!!!
