As I told one fellow veteran, I LOVE to come to these events, yet I also Hate to come to these events. It's humbling to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country, remembering many of my shipmates who lost their lives in Beirut, 1983, Desert Storm and other operations.
As a twenty year, retired military veteran, I want to thank all of you who, in one way or another honored these men and women.
I also want to thank my fellow veterans for their service and their families for their sacrifices.
Now, on to the topic at hand . . . Eddie Washington was a DISGRACE ! He strutted down the street with his 2-car POSSE, complete with "Vote for Eddie Washington" signs, passing out CAMPAIGN LITERATURE !!
THIS WAS NEITHER THE TIME NOR THE PLACE TO CAMPAIGN !
WHAT AN INSULT TO OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES !
Washington is a DISGRACE and should be ashamed of himself. But, then again, he has no shame.
What a Low Down DIRTBAG!
PLEASE .... PLEASE .... REMEMBER THIS COME ELECTION TIME ! !

I was unable to attend this humble ceremony/parade dedicated to our nation's fallen, but I do agree with you Tony,this is no place to advertise your existance. It is a day to remember our heroic soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen that have passed, not a damn time for a politician attempting to get you to know him better.
