Condolences on the recent loss of your dad. And the loss of all those who didn't make it home.
Mom worked on 2 Nave bases, Long Beach back in the days of the Vietnam war, and Port Hueneme SeaBee base. At sunset, as the colors were struck, TAPS was always played. Even on those bases, with no cemeteries, EVERYTHING came to a complete halt. And every sunset that I was on base, tears would flow down my cheeks. Yeah, I am sort of emotional and as transparent as a window.
Never wanted to go to a high school reunion. Knew there would be too many empty chairs.
The stunt the Trump campaign pulled this week should make it impossible for him to ever hold office again.

The important thing to focus on here is that our Vets are men and women of honor

How are they distributing/showing this ad? It needs to get wide distribution and airing.

I think vets and active duty armed forces should salute Trump . . . with one finger.
