Freedom of Speech...
What in the Sam hill has our country come to? If it is freedom of speech for some scumbag to lie and claim military honors never awarded, then what about a veteran's right to stomp a mud hole in them for doing so?
Don't wait for the Good Lord to save our country folks, get your butts out and vote some people into office with some common sense that will put some decent judges into office. God bless & Semper Fidelis
