Well said, Sgt Mac. From Retired CPO I salute you. Let us just hope that when they have the ceremony at the Vets memorial in the Villages, that the majority of the people there will rise and place their hand over their hearts when the National Anthem is played or the flag passes. I attended a couple of years ago and left in disgust when the onlookers just kept talking and never got out of their plush chairs. It felt like a replay of my return from Vietnam. No matter what the idiots do, let us keep our pride in ourselves, our country, and our Mates who died, or were seriously injured, in service to this country.
