Pajamas Media » Obama Snubs Medal of Honor Recipients
The president and first lady, for the first time in those ensuing 56 years, did not make an appearance at the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball. In attendance at the gala were 48 of the 99 living recipients of our nation’s highest honor. Of the 99 who are still with us, not even half are in any condition or possess the wherewithal to travel to such an event. And by the next inauguration, likely half of those won’t be with us.
Making this evening even more special was the fact that it is the 50th anniversary of the Medal of Honor Society, which has been working hard to reach out to people to educate them about its members.
Obama talks about how much he respects our military men and women, but when it comes time to walk the walk, well, not so much.
Submit to Stumbled Upon!
So even Jimmy Carter attended this event and now Obama has broken that string?!
Say what you will about Jimmeh - and I do - you can’t take away from him that he was a serving military man. In fact, he was the last Democrat president to be such. They had to teach BJ how to salute. With The Obama, they aren’t even bothering.
