Hearts Breaking [View all]

Sargent La David Johnsons daughter, her eyes huge as she holds the folded flag in honor of her father who she will never hold again. The photo, the grief ...it is in all their eyes. They are so young. All of them so young.

A Gold Star family member, a general, insulted and belittle this family and called them liars as did the president of the United States. He was buried today while family and friends mourned. The president? What did he do today? He tweeted insults and then went to play golf. May he and Kelly roast in hell. They disrespected a service member, his family and this country AND OUR FLAG. There are no words for the disrespect of service men and women and their families. Their response? Inhumane at best. I have never been so ashamed of this country for which it now stands under the trump and GOP.

May you rest in peace, La David Johnson. Your family sir? Words fail me. It will be a long hard road for them. I hope they know many of us stand with them.

Good night Sergent,
