As the nation celebrates the Memorial Day Holiday and honors those who paid the ultimate price to defeat fascism and tyranny to preserve the freedoms many take for granted today, it is important to remember that there is one Presidential candidate this year who does not honor our nations fallen or the ideals and themes in the Constitution they fought for.
This candidate, as a former President, has already demonstrated his disdain for our country’s bravest by calling these heroes “losers” and “suckers,” spitting on their memories.
He routinely praises our nation’s adversaries like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and threatens to militarily cut off our allies in N.A.TO.
His campaign released an ad calling for a unified Reich.
He threatens security at our borders by telling his political allies in Congress to block legislation that would improve security there.
He has said he wants to be a dictator for a day.
His court picks have already taken away women’s reproductive freedom nationwide. He is supportive of states restricting access to contraception.
His MAGA allies want to take away your freedom to read what you want, marry who you love, and restrict your access to the ballot box including, as Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said on Meet the Press yesterday, motivating election-denying domestic terrorists to disrupt the legal voting process.
He is a traitor to the Constitution who calls the insurrectionists that he enabled to storm the Nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021, “hostages.”
He has been impeached twice for violating and betraying his Oath of Office.
He said Lincoln was wrong to not negotiate further with the slave-holding South to avoid the start of the American Civil War.
He wants to use law enforcement and the military to create concentration detention camps for undocumented immigrants.
This person, the Republican Presidential Candidate, has repeatedly demonstrated he is not worthy of the support of our nation’s military and veterans.
For the Fallen that the people honor on this Memorial Day, do not dishonor their ultimate sacrifice by voting for the person who represents everything those heroes fought against.

The graves of America’s war dead are not a platform for political propaganda. You should know better that to do that.
Tell that to your POS draft dodging coward who refused to honor WW1 Marine dead because he didn’t want to get his “hair” wet.
“I don’t understand, what’s in it for them?” he said to his then Chief of Staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, as they stood over Kelly’s son’s resting place in Arlington National Cemetery. Kelly would have been entirely justified in decking that coward. A bit personal as my parents are eternally resting in the section your cowardly hero desecrated by his presence.
How are facts political propaganda. Name one item in that article that is not factually based?
Nor for political campaigning. I have attended many memorial day ceremonies in my life and I have never heard a politician do a campaign speech there. It is disrespectful and uncalled for.
Is it not also disrespectful for Donald Trump to call these brave Americans “suckers” and “losers?” This is coming from General John Kelly, Trump’s Chief of Staff. You can not say he is lying, can you?
Saw my new t-shirt yesterday. Letters against a flag background say, “All gave some, Some gave all. One had bone spurs. Veterans against trump.”

Yeah, I’ll support a guy whose main concern was avoiding venereal disease while 58,220 Americans were dying in Vietnam.
