I am not from a Gold Star family. But, I am from Washington, DC. I was born here. I went to grad school here. I was married here. I gave birth to my children here. And, I still live here.
DC is our Capital. To many, it's also a vacation destination surpassing all others. To me, it's also my home town. And, like many people, I am proud of my city and what we represent to the world. Arlington National Cemetery is one part of that.
I have visited ANC too many times to count. It's sobering, it's beautiful, it's powerful. It just speaks to you. I can't explain it any better than that. I don't offer my perspective as a grieving family, but I CAN tell you this: No one, and I mean NO ONE would do what Donald Trump and his staff did during his visit. If you are defending him you either have never visited or you are a callous, utter moron. Or, well, both.
