Fred Troutmans remarks at Memorial service

Fred Troutman had it right; Chris Hayes did not, until he apologized

Roger D Smith DMD writes:
Ed, After reading Mr. Fred Troutman's speech I found it especially rude that MSNBC's Chris Hayes made his remarks on television questioning the use of "Hero" as it applies to fallen servicemen and women. It is truly sad that many of our young people are not educated in the sacrifices that many in our very community and in this great country have suffered to allow this "commentator" the right to speak as he did.

I do understand that Mr. Hayes has issued a retraction to his earlier comments and apologized for his lack of understanding. This is truly too little and too late for those families who lost love ones in combat.

As Mr. Hayes stated and I think a lot of my fellow veterans will agree, not everyone has to go out in a "hail of gunfire" to be called a Hero! God Bless America! --Roger D Smith DMD
