WAY TO GO BARRY.

I guess going to the Purple Ball was more important than honoring American veterans...true heroes?

According to TSO who was at the "Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball", this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that's 14 Inaugurations).

Some background on the ball;

The American Legion sponsors the ball, which recognizes recipients of Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award. It started in 1953 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower's first inauguration. Event co-sponsors include 13 other veterans service organizations, among them the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

So where was our new President instead of honoring Medal of Honor recipients who by some miracle are still alive?

You don't really think anyone with the name husseuin would ever respect or honor American veterans, do ya; especially for a bigger show or crowd?

I heard that the Secret Service wouldn't let him attend the Legion's ball.   Too dangerous.  The Legionaires once swore to protect and defend their country!
