I think its damn insulting that our troops are serving under a president that cares so little about them or their well being. He's even removed "on behalf of the president" from the flag presentation to family at funerals!
Back in '70 when I was doing funerals, I presented the flag "With thanks from a grateful nation"... Was the president inserted at some time?
My son joined the Marines today!!! As an old Army paratrooper, I could not be more proud of his decision to join and serve our great country. I hope and pray he has a new president to follow orders from!!!
I have a friend who works funeral detail. In the last 2 years it has gone from "On behalf of the President of the United States, and a grateful nation...." to "On behalf of the Secretary of Defense..." He said orders came from above and that's how they've been done all year.
That is truly unfortunate that it has come to this, if true. The President represents we the people- he does not represent well.....
