    memorial service turned to politics

    memorial service differant. usually it starts with a openning pray and end with a prayer .they left out the openning prayer. the singers were fantasticas was the girls who gave the gettysburg address then it went bad .what should have been a memorial speech turned into political rantings of so guy in uniform. when he start to forget about the men he was there to honor I left along with many more of the crowd. as they left I heard the same mumblings, this was not the time to talk about fencing in our boarders or throwing out the imagrants. he should have honored the dead not push his view points.
    I even agree with some of what he started to say but left any way . until he was done then the crowd came back to finish to service which was good

    why do politicains have to use every gathering to toot there own horn.

    Bombed on Memorial Day

    Hey gramps what the hell are you talking about? Were you bombed when you wrote your post? Man, that was brutal. Even Kreskin wouldn't know what you're talking about. Lay off the Utica Club.

    Basically, he's saying that memorial services shouldn't be used as a platform for politics.

    If it's better to look forward, why did you spell Dracula backward?

    Somehow your statement makes me think of a Guinness Beer Commercial.
