Today is set aside to remember those who died in wartime service to our nation.

Sober and reflective public statements by Government and Military leaders are issued.
Flags Are lowered to half staff, gravesites are cleaned and flags are presented by service Organizations such as the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Which of the following statements fit this narrative?

Example 1:
Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!

Example 2:
We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. But we can remember them, honor their sacrifice, and affirm in our own lives those enduring ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for which generations of Americans have given that last full measure of devotion.

Everyday I find that he can indeed go lower. There seems to be no actual bottom in this barrel after all.

One is very Presidential...

and the other is a totally narcissistic asshole that has no clue as to what this day is all about.

Yet his supporters will eat this shit sandwich and gladly ask for more.

Lots of deals on mattresses and BBQ grills too.

There’s a military death machine air show in S Fla at the beach. Saw some nooz clips of the beach littered ankle deep in styrofoam cups, plates, chicken bones, and beer cans, contributed by true patriots.
