Next year, when you go to your town’s Memorial Day parade, for the love of God people, please please please make some noise when your veterans go by. Clap, cheer, wave, shout thank you. Parades are not television! Those are REAL people in the parade and they need and enjoy your support.
Also, if your job as the lady cop who makes sure all the parade entrants step-off in an orderly manner, is to salute every US Flag that is being formally carried by an honor guard, could you at least spit out your fucking gum?! I mean, honestly.
