Went to the Houston Memorial Day presentation at the National Veterans Cemetery. Plenty of people and vets. Speaches were good,,,, EXCEPT! for 2 congressmen,, ONE was Shelia Jackson Lee. In her speach she began to talk about how proper health care act needs to be passed,, and the bill that she wrote and pushed so that all vets arrving from overseas will be met and given a ride home, at all airports. NOW I agree that these are good things,, but to push your personal agenda on a day like this?!?!?!
Â
Thanks to Ted Poe, and a few other Congressmen/Senators, who knew the meaning of the day, and did not try to push a poliitcal issue, on a day such as Memorial Day.

Many people in the crowd were not happy.
@KTownTexican: She is not even listed on the program I was given. Guess she pulled strings.How did she react when our Sons of Confederate Veterans chapters paraded our colors?
