You are correct but this was a tradition that they cancelled for the wrong reasons.

Same at my fathers funeral. I appreciated it, and the young men who performed it, very much. Its pretty much all I remember of that day. It was beautiful. When they folded his flag and handed it to my mother, saying "Thank you for your husband's service to our country" - that's when I lost it.

And i’m a moron cause i don’t really ####ing know the huge difference between the two.
There’s probably a lot of things you and others don’t know the difference between.
I’m up to admitting it and not down with calling others who don’t know morons.
HAve a good one

Well, isn’t it convenient that it was only AFTER Veterans’ Day that the college authorities came to this epiphany ...?

It’s a good thing these snowflakes don’t live around me. Christmas day last year sounded like a war zone. At least 20 people must have gotten guns for Christmas and they all tried them out (including what sounded like one automatic weapon). And it bothered no one.

Unless the shoot them in to the sky like moose limbs. Then when the slugs come through the roof it can be annoying. :-)

Well regardless, they were doing it for some time and then bowed to gun control/never Trumper’s and whatever other hate America org. is out there.

The democrat thugs got their virtue signaling moment and now think they can avoid the backlash.

Reinstating is not sufficient.
They need to add military lazers, a couple of bazookas, and a giant screen showing clips including a MOAB, the takedown of Bagdaghi, of Bin Ladin, and the tanks rolling into Iraq behind the Iraqi spokesman.

Glad to see this. The whole idea of a 21 gun salute IS TO SHOCK, RAISE EMOTIONS, and MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. and it DOES!

We need a petition against the swords on the mascot. Should not be encouraging instruments of violence at a school. Are they Rapiers? If so, that is another reason to outlaw them. The word is too much like support for sexual violence. /s
