I know that many DU members are veterans

I just sent a Facebook message to the American Legion National Headquarters, asking the leadership to make a public statement
"condemning the shameful actions of Donald Trump and his crew that accompanied him to Arlington National Cemetery" for the purpose of a partisan campaign stunt.
I will follow that up with a similar letter.
I would encourage fellow veterans to write to: VFW, DAV or American Legion.
Hopefully, leaders of those organizations will stand up for the sanctity of our fallen fellow veterans!

I really wish we could send Boris, Natasha, and all the ruskie loving asholes out of our country. At the very least, they most certainly do NOT belong in Congress, the White House or any position of authority!

will have the courage to take a stand, like the VFW leadership did two weeks ago. Those organizations have members who will sit up and take notice when such statements are made.
