Boxer was scheduled to attend the Memorial Day ceremonies at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery on Point Loma in San Diego. She chickened out and did not show up. The crowd was not her type of people. I was so disappointed. I wanted to say “Good morning maam!” The Marines at Camp Pendleton are under orders to be polite.
