Sir:
Your post offends me and my family and the US military. Not because YOU find my statement insulting to Mr. Trump (whom I continue to support for POTUS) but because of your childish suppositions.
My family, on both sides, consists of combat veterans reaching back to WW-II. All have served both ably and admirably for their country.
An award of the Purple Heart is intended for that very soldier/servant, it should not be transferred to someone who does not deserve it. That is the point I was making.
I was merely asking whether this fine soldier was returned his PH medal, since he should be buried with it on his chest. As my recently deceased father-in-law was buried with his
Berlin campaign,
Korea Campaign, and
Vietnam Campaign ribbons
PROUDLY displayed on his chest in his casket. His wife received the US Flag shroud prior to his interment. I know, I was a pall-bearer.
Somewhat respectfully, my father-in-law (25 years in the 101st Airborne, oooo-ahhh) (RIP) would simply be disgusted with your words.
The father of my 3 grandchildren (8 years and going forward in The Big Red 1, ooooo-ahhhh), 2 tours walking next to a tank in Ghanny, would simply be disgusted with your words.
Funny thing is, none of my relatives would ever challenge or berate you. I could go on. You sir don’t owe me an apology. I’ve told you my position. I request from you, nothing.
Maybe you could tell JimRob you are sorry.
I ain’t holding my breath.
Too bad, that's your problem. And I have no idea what your wordy, baseless rambling post is about.
The man wasn't giving Trump the medal to *wear*; He was giving Trump the medal as a gesture of his respect and honor for Donald Trump, who has made taking care of neglected veterans a serious and sincere issue he intends to keep.
The man's heartfelt gesture in giving Donald Trump his Purple Heart for whatever reason he chose (as well as Trump's gracious acceptance) frankly, is HIS right, and none of your business.
*I* am offended that Donald Trump -- a man who is giving his all in defeat Hillary Clinton in the name of those who love this Republic -- must endure the pettiness of the MSM, as well this kind of pettiness.
Did you consider that even a man like Donald Trump needs a morale booster and love as he is being assaulted and mugged every day by a vicious liberal public and media?
