DON'T TREAD on ME!

What could Legion possibly say to object honoring the nation's original flag that the FIRST soldiers fought under?

3. That's nothing unusual.
Veterans with a conscience are not welcome.

When the Smedley Butler chapter of the Veterans For Peace turned up for a Boston Veteran's Day parade (last year or the year before,) the parade was canceled. So much for honoring the warrior. . .
