There is no tradition of military service in his family, as far back as anyone can search. Instead, avoidance of such service is the common theme. Trump and his offspring should never try to attach any of the honor our veterans have to themselves by even showing their faces where veterans are honored.
Just recently, Donald J. Trump dishonored a military man who has received a Purple Heart due to his injuries in combat. Earlier, he disgustingly insulted a Gold Star family because their names were not American enough and they followed a religion that is not the dominant one in this country.
Yes, Donald Trump and everyone related to him should remain indoors on Veterans Day and avoid insulting veterans and their families by trying to steal the honor they earned. If he appears, he should be ignored, and everyone should turn their backs on him.

And I am reminded of that sad situation where one of his cult members actually GAVE Trump his Purple Heart. And Trump's response was "I always wanted one of these."
You are correct MM, he should stay away.
