I am ashamed of you!! Where were you yesterday...at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month?? Remember...VETERANS' DAY??? Except for a full contingent of the American Legion/VFW Honor Guard, a few wives, a daughter and a few other civilians...you were not where you should have been!! At the cemetery...honoring the veterans that have served and died so that you could be comfortable and safe in your homes. I know it was Sunday morning--I pray that God forgives me for missing Mass---the weather was exceptional...certainly not the cold, windy, rainy, snowy, hot, dry, humid conditions under which so many of our service members have labored, were injured and died to defend your lazy backsides!! If I offend...too bad. Mark your calendars...NOVEMBER 11, 2013 1100,

My lazy ass was at the grave of a forgotten Revolutionary
War veteran. I chose not to visit the grave of my grandfather (who was a WW2
vet) and my uncle who I never met (Korean war vet) to thank a man that helped
give us what we have today...sorry if that makes me a lazy ass. If this is the
attitude of my hometown now, I don;t think I want to come back.
Each
person chooses their own way of honoring our vets. To say that everyone should
be at one certain place or else they are dishonoring those that have served or
died for our freedom is condescending.

i
was in the parade there several years in a row.Brownies and Girl Scouts.
Your
loathing for residents past and present not attending and not living up to your
expectation is the most selfish and arrogant post I have ever heard. I suppose
it must feel good knowing that your support for veterans of this great nation
is more than the lazy asses that live next door. Be constructive and get the
word out if you feel you must. I see no mention of the event on this site,
maybe some lazy ass was well just too damn lazy to post it.

I'll
be honest, I knew nothing about the cemetery, even if I did I wouldn't have
been there anyways, I was at home spending it with my family, were so busy
through the week that its just nice to be at home doing things we want to do. I
respect our military from then and today, doesn't mean I don't care because I
wasn't there.

How
dare you? Sit there on YOUR LAZY BACKSIDE and talk down your nose to anyone as
if you are some almighty. Just because everyone doesn't choose to Honor Our
Veterans in the same manner as you... your post is 100% inappropriate and I am
with the majority that you owe everyone on this page a sincere apology at
least! I can't stop shaking my head at your audacity! Let me just say you have
offended... MANY! Step down off your high horse!

I think we would all very easily drop the subject and move on... if she would
apologize. She was considerably rude and needs to apologize.
sorry
did'nt know that

Look,
this is Facebook and nobody has to apologize to anybody because someone doesn't
agree with what they posted. Everybody has made their points. Veterans' Day is
over for this year. Cool it.
you're
right, Kim....nobody HAS to apologize....Kathi is entitled to her opinion as am
I.....I also have to right to complain about her insensitive post and HOPE for
an apology for all of us that she offended. I think you can post whatever you
want on Facebook, on your OWN page...when you are in a GROUP setting, however,
you need to keep it respectful, and, in MY opinion, that didn't happen on
Kathi's part.

I'm
just glad I don't have to go to the cemetery in my wool band uniform and furry
hat anymore.
Well, if you're evil- put me down in the same category, cuz it's a riot!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it hysterical? Especially those who tried to lighten it up at the end.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have let myself get drawn into FB things like this, my older son shakes his head and says, "Mom, why do you argue with crazy people?" For me, the answer is simpler with the kind of person who posts this sort of rant - defriend!
ReplyDeleteI second the comment made by Sailor...a RIOT!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm evil too I guess.
*tee, hee*
I LOVE the first response to her rant!!!
And this is why I'm really careful about what I do on FB and that I only have a handful of friends on there, mainly family and people from church. I think its probably safer that way.
ReplyDeleteFun to read the interchanges though :)
betty
Agent - I have blocked a few people on my newsfeed to avoid their nonsense.
ReplyDeleteRon - the first response was priceless.....I mean, who goes to visit an unknown revolutionary war grave? Must live in one of the 13 colonies!
Betty - I don't know anyone who responded. It's just one of those groups of common interest. Usually, the conversations are about former teachers, businesses that are long gone, and local landmarks, so quite benign.
Hi Bij,
ReplyDeleteThis is why that IN am so wary of FB... Even if you can take it and laugh, I just would turn away.
I have to give credit to someone who goes to an unknown revolutionary soldier's grave. I have seen some of these old graves in Philly and they are moving!
My Dad was a Vet and I am grateful that some child or adult took the time to put a flag for him at the cemetery. Bless you, whoever you are xox
Barb - I don't think FB has any exclusivity when it comes to attacks. That is the Internet and I've seen the same thing on message boards and blogs. Anonymous people think they can say whatever. It's reassuring to know that our ancestors graves are visited by locals. I am not near any of mine.
ReplyDeletefabulous, wonderful, magical fun.
ReplyDeletei like it.
these are the kinds of posts i just let burn naturally. i gotta obnoxious side but these give me the day off to enjoy someone else's wildness.
X - I knew you would appreciate it!
ReplyDeletesweet fancy moses, people are crazy.
ReplyDeleteoi vey.
