They are veterans. Its their day too. They earned the right.

With your "Hyphenated-American Minority" It sounds like you don't think the Tuskegee Airmen if they decide to march as African-American US Army Pilots or the Navajo Code talkers if they group together and march as Native- American Marines have a place in your parade. They just need to blend in the rest of us. Sad

It ain't an act. Its me. There is that ignore option if your tired of it.
