If the group had been gay, dope pushing pimps they would have been received with open arms. Liberls work to bring this country to our knees so they can rebuild it in the image of liberalism. If they control the thought patterns of our students then the dumbing of America continues at an accelerating pace.

If the principal of either high school where I live did this he wouldn't hold his job another day (although one of them is a retired Lt Colonel and the likelihood of him doing this is nonexistent). People who honor and respect those who serve this country are still in the majority in some areas.

They came to America at the first of the 20 century, that would be the 1900's for those who attend gubmint schools. Grandfather was from Germany, grandmother from Norway. He as a SEABEE during WWII. Being German he had to serve in the Pacific. They adopted several children from Germany and brought them to America when Hitler was rising to power. My mom was one of them. They lived in MN all their life, I was born there, and I still have an uncle who lives up there. He was in the Army during the Korean War. To say he was tad upset over what happened to these vets at this high school is a mild understatement. Don't know why I had to say all of that other then to let the VFF group know that there are people in MN who support them, and by visiting Ft Snelling you have honored my ancestors by their presence. I live in GA now and the tour really isn't coming close to us, but I would really love to meet these guys. As always "Adapt and Overcome" and "Deeds not Words" will win the day.
