A family who has lost a member in military service.What is a Gold Star family?
No one wants to be a Gold Star Family.What is a Gold Star family?
No cowardice here "QuietB"
Unlike Kommola, who the Gold Star families have sent a very clear message to:
I think you forgot to link the evidence.Did you say 'Give me more evidence of Kommola's shameless disrespect of Gold Star families and her cheap political pointscoring at the expense of fallen soldiers'?
Happy to oblige, "QuietB":
Senator Tom Cotton is the author of Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery (2019). I wrote about it here on its publication date. It is a moving account of Senator Cotton’s service in the Old Guard along with a history of the Army’s oldest infantry unit.
Service in the Old Guard is generally by application and requires rigorous training. Few can meet its incredibly imposing standards. Acceptance into service in the Old Guard is an honor conferred by the Army, on the one hand, and an honor fulfilled by its members, on the other.
Upon his return from his tour of duty in Iraq, someone in the chain of command thought to “ask” Tom to serve as a platoon leader in the Old Guard. Senator Cotton says that questions about his service in the Old Guard are what his constituents most frequently want him to answer when they ask about his military service.
When it comes to proper conduct at Arlington, suffice it to say, he speaks as an expert. Senator Cotton’s statement below on President Trump’s attendance at the anniversary memorial for the Abbey Gate Gold Star families seems to me authoritative.

Oh Tom Cotton says it was all good?
Must be fine then
On one side you seem to have Trump sycophants and partisans saying nothing to see here, on the other you have actual military and vet orgs saying yeah he's pretty bad. Gee who to believe I wonder
...by any metric Harris looks far superior to her opponent.
Just curious why did you miss spell Kamala?
Genuine question sir.
yep! stokey and swanny are for an “absurdly low standard” prez.
Well it is the most important endorsement. I'm talking to my team and we should have a press conference booked in by the end of the month.Actually, think you'll find that Stokey has not yet decided who he endorses.
Alternatively you could jump on Spaces for a chat with XtremeWell it is the most important endorsement. I'm talking to my team and we should have a press conference booked in by the end of the month.

I don't get it.
OMG that was a magnificent moment in conservative incompetence.
Sorry to go off-track but I don't understand this...why the **** do you guys have Liberal and Labour in council elections?OMG that was a magnificent moment in conservative incompetence.
Recently given a run for its money by the NSW Libs forgetting to nominate 150 candidates for the upcoming local govt elections.
There is no disconnect you are absolutely spot onWhere is my disconnect - what am I not understanding?
I prefer that local councillors are honest about their affiliation rather than trying to pretend they don't exist.Sorry to go off-track but I don't understand this...why the **** do you guys have Liberal and Labour in council elections?
I get that people with political ambitions use local government as a springboard to get into State or Federal politics, and so you'll get council elected members that are aligned with a political party...but elected members in local government should be proposing policy based on local neighbourhood issues/needs and voting in best interests of the people in the suburbs they represent; rather than pushing the agenda of state or federal parties.
Where is my disconnect - what am I not understanding?
