My eldest is attending this. He was a Navy corpsman who served with the Marines. Just told me the Sea, Air and Space Museum staff has barred all the vets because Trump will be giving a speech there. He said no doubt The Donald doesn't know and would be pissed. I agree!

It's probably an issue with the security of the venue. SS requirememts and all.

They heard from the Museum staff and not the SS which has the honorees thinking that this wasn't a SS call. If it were the thinking is that the vets could have been screened easily enough. Oh well....

Glad he got to go with his best friend. Sucks about the Intrepid. And yes, I bet DJT was not aware of this. He would have pitched a bitch!

Thank him for his service.
