PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Military veterans are upset after the annual Camp Lejeune fireworks show for military members and their families was cut.

What makes it even worse: A Pittsburgh area company offered to do the show for free, but the government said, thanks, but no thanks.

The military says the show meant for more than 47-thousand Marines and Sailors was cancelled due to federal cutbacks.

Yep. Oh, but there's plenty of money for lavish vacations to Africa, and expensive clothes for the first lady.

This shows what their priorities are.

Amerika under Obama.

One in five Americans (which is one in seven households) getting their precious little cards "reloaded" each month, while the military has been used as an ATM machine for the Welfare State.

Shame on this nation.

I really hate to seem like a grammar bug and hope you don’t take offense, but this one is annoying because it crops up so much. The word is “martial” (as in military, from Mars ... Roman god of war) law. Marshall is a military or law enforcement rank or a verb meaning to gather forces.

It was cancelled because the communist thug in our White House despises the military and wants them to suffer any time he can pretend someone else is at fault.

It's not about the money.

It's about disconnecting "Americans" from their heritage.

It was cut so the Illegal could show the military the rigid digit salute he so loves for those he really hates, like America, Americans, and the Constitution.

They are also closing the swimming pools used by military families. Obama is despicable. And where are the MSM on this? Silent.

“My friend, tell me one thing that you have seen that makes you think he intends on “leaving” in 2016...there will be MARTIAL LAW one way or another, or something that “will keep him going”...on and on and on”

FIXED THE MARTIAL LAW ITEM...SEPERATED THE WORDS THAT MAKES and added the missing “...makes alot of difference....thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama, Michelle & Valerie have a mean, nasty streak in them.

Petty, small, anti-patriotic in light of his multi-million dollar African Trip.

But that's how this Chicago Gang roll.
