tod74, ive been a member for a very short time. i have a few people that i enjoy reading there answers to posts.yours is one of them so if i offended you im sorry . but you aint running to be the president either.ive read his comments on this and a few other questionable things also. like he quit wearing his label pin.the flag.and his wifes comments and i do question his loyality as do many, many others. i was raised to put my hand over my heart by my dad and my teachers andmillon others i saw on tv and in person do it.i also have not said the plege as i havent been put in position to do so.to me and a millon others it is a sign of respect to put your hand over your heart. i quess im old school cause i still pull over for funerals and if possible get out and take off my hat and put it over mt heart.even if i didnt know the person, which i usually dont.no sir im not questioning your loyality but i do a man that wants to run my country. thats a big job and all i ask is to show my country the respect shes due. so again if i offended you im sorry because that was not my intension.
