One thing you can do is to go and add comments to the story. Call ‘em on it.

Is there some way we can contact LCol. Jones? Obviously he is feeling pressure from his overlords. He needs to feel pressure from patriots. He cannot just kiss a*** with impunity.

There’ll be one more piece, at least, regarding the discharge and a final wrap. It’ll be today or Thursday, depending on when Nat flies home.

Amen to that!

It’s a day I’ll never forget. To be with Justin, his parents, and all of those Marine Corps veterans was a blessing. Duty, Honor, Country were there that day.

RE: "Duty, Honor, Country were there that day."
I sense the statement was well founded in fact.
