I'll put the flags that draped my father's and my father-in-law's caskets and my few ribbons in the window today.

My problem is the number of people who wave the flag and praise the veterans and the active military but neither they nor their descendants can find a way to perform military service. Among these are Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Neill, Rush Limbaugh, and Rand Paul. And I shouldn't forget Anne Coulter, Sarah Palin (and her family), Dianne Feinstein, and a bunch of others. The military would perhaps have taken any of these people, maybe. But I do so wish they'd stop shooting off their mouths about things they know nothing about....
