The three remaining presidential candidates spent Memorial Day honoring U.S. military service members, each in their own unique way.

In Chappaqua, N.Y., Hillary Clinton marched in the town’s annual Memorial Day parade with former President Bill Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a large contingent of Secret Service agents.

The Democratic frontrunner and her husband smiled and waved to their fellow Chappaquaintances and were received warmly, though at least one person along the parade route offered Hillary Clinton some unsolicited political advice.

In Chappaqua, N.Y., Hillary Clinton marched in the town’s annual Memorial Day parade with former President Bill Clinton, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a large contingent of Secret Service agents.

The Democratic frontrunner and her husband smiled and waved to their fellow Chappaquaintances .......................

Clinton, herself, did not take questions from reporters, but offered some Memorial Day thoughts on Twitter.

“Our fallen heroes deserve our profound gratitude for giving their lives to protect our freedom,” she wrote. “Today and every day.”
..........................................

But the Vermont senator also took the opportunity to tweak Donald Trump, who vowed to “rebuild our military” and “knock the hell out of ISIS” at the Rolling Thunder rally in Washington, D.C., Sunday afternoon.

“It’s easy to give speeches about how tough we are,” Sanders tweeted, “but let us not forget the cost of war on the men and women who serve in our military.”

...............
“Have a great Memorial Day,” Trump wrote, “and remember that we will soon MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

2. Just hope he woke a bit recharged.

One of these candidates' days would probably prostate me. And that's just the long, frequently intense hours without considering the stress.

3. ya some one put a microphone in front of him and he woke right up

5. Well, after a year on the campaign trail

it'd all be automatic, wouldn't it? Tough guy. I do wonder what his campaign is able to do for him to make it less physically grueling.

11. LOL. Good one.

9. Agree, I couldn't do it and I am 30 years younger.

By the way, it's "prostrate", although your typo made me laugh.

10. same here - nothing better than an unintended typo

4. Right on cue

Pavlov would be proud.

And you would have thought that Secretary "Done Deal" Clinton supporters would have taken the opportunity to comment on what is a very inspiring (in a kind of Norman Rockwell way AND otherwise) photograph.

Ah, but negativity is the word of the day.

[Hortensis]

6. You said it. I do agree it is a nice picture.

No otherwise.

[Uponthegears]

7. Said it and meant it

Take care

[Hortensis]

8. You too.
