Obama gets U.S. History wrong again
CONFUSES MEMORIAL DAY WITH VETERANS’ DAY
by Sharon Rondeau
(May 31, 2010) — Evidently they didn’t teach U.S. history at Obama’s school in Indonesia.
In his Saturday internet address, Obama encouraged Americans to observe Memorial Day with “deeds…By making sure the men and women serving this country around the world have the support they need to achieve their missions and come home safely. By making sure veterans have the care and assistance they need. In short, by serving all those who have ever worn the uniform of this country – and their families – as well as they have served us.”
However, Memorial Day is not about living veterans. It is about those who have given their lives in defense of the country. It is meant to be “a solemn day of mourning.” Even PBS states that the observance is meant to honor the war dead, not veterans.







An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
