In the crowd are Firemen with their trucks, Policemen with their uniforms on standing at attention and saluting the Hearse as it passes.
God Bless all the Forces whether American, Canadians, British or whoever.
Why criticize your President for show Respect and Thanks on behalf of all Americans.
Wake Up!!

NOBODY...NOBODY...IF YOU WOULD JUST READ is criticizing President Obama for any such thing as you charge !!!! Where did you get that idea ?
What you describe in Canada is neat...it has not happened here...the criticism is the press corps being dragged along for what was called a private moment and a clue should be that all but ONE family refused to participate ! They knew they were being used for a photo op.
Fact is...I said in MY post..."Actually , I would love to disagree with you and would have because saluting the fallen is a wonderful thing, but when I found out about the staging and making it a photo op that did it for me also !"
I cannot speak for any others but my instinct tells me that the CRITICISM that you dont understand is for making this into a photo op !
