			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Memorial Day is next Monday. It is a day to remember and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation.  It is tradition that  a wreath is laid at the memorial in Arlington  each year .</p>
<p>I started quite the rant earlier this evening about how Pres. Obama is not going to be laying the wreath at Arlington on Memorial Day so he can go to Chicago and have a vacation.</p>
<p>I was infuriated when I read Pres. Obama was going to a family get together rather than Honor our Fallen as Commander and Chief.  My first thought was “unforgivable”.  Now I know he will not be the first President to not attend the wreath laying.  But others had reasons that were not “vacations”.  Then I thought about Pres. Obama’s treatment of our troops and it occurred to me that if he does lay the wreath it will be play acting as he has no gratitude for those who it is laid in Honor of.  It would be fake and I don’t want that wreath laid for my son and his brothers and sisters by someone who so obviously despises everything my son stood for and died for.</p>
<p>Pres. Obama’s loathing of our troops has been evident from the very  beginning of his presidency when he was the  First President to skip the  Inauguration night ball Honoring Medal of Honor Recipients in over 50  years.  Then there was his punishment of Gen. Stanly McChyrstal for  publicly outing the fact he had ignored our Military commanders request  for more troops in Afghanistan by making them wait months for an answer  which was simple. That cost more lives than we probably know.  Then  there is the treasonous Rules of Engagement imposed on our troops.</p>
<p>It would be the greats Honor of my life to lay that wreath. I would be humbled to simply attend the service. But you see I love those men.  I may not know their names  but I know them. They are my son’s brothers and they stood and died for the same Love of Nation he did.</p>
<p>Enjoy your vacation Mr. President. Someday I hope you realize you are free to do so because of the men you refuse to honor.In the meantime I am glad someone with an ounce of respect for our troops is laying the Wreath at Arlington this Memorial Day.</p>
