Always always happens when they put their foot in their mouth only to find out later that it was a stupid thing to do. Then apologize. Yeah? Really?
But NEXT year - yeah, NEXT year we'll have it - unless a bunch of snot-nose snowflakes whine about it... then we'll, uh.. think about it.
Sheesh.
There was a bugle playing taps and a 21 gun salute at my father’s burial.
Standing there in the cold, I remember the silence before and after. It was heartbreaking.
Why not just make an announcement that there will be 5 minutes of silence at 10 AM for those who served our country? And have the 21 gun salute at 10:01? problem solved!
Why wait until next year? Do a 21-gun salute on December 7, Pearl Harbor day.
Go ahead and make my temper explode.
WHY did they NOT do it this year?
Bet too many wealthy donors expressed their displeasure.
Although motivated by COWARDLY intentions ...
Why a 21 Gun Salute in the first place?
I hate it when morons confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. I hate it. My church used to ask all who served in the Military to stand and be recognized. On Memorial Day.
Sheesh.
I don’t think a 21 Gun Salute is applicable on Veterans Day. Maybe so. But not having such a salute is not offensive or wrong.

Time to give the university a 21 bum salute.
They must have gotten slapped up side the head something fierce.
They must have gotten an earful from the alumni supporters.
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.
The democrat thugs got their virtue signaling moment and now think they can avoid the backlash.
Frightening the snowflakes is a GOOD thing.
Next year? GFY.
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
