To All Veterans on Twitter

This is a re-post of a tweet by twitter user @couldbeme7. While we do not see eye-to-eye on politics, I support her in her battle for respect for her father a WWII vet.

TO ALL VETERANS on Twitter-- Some of you noticed @keithdatrucker yesterday alone tweet me 48 times using vile language trashing a VETERAN (my deceased Father) on the timeline. My Father was an honorable man, a good man and a man who walked with God. Keith's actions seem to be condoned by his friends, who are also Veterans @SwiftRead, @slingbrush and @GregWHoward. None of them have denounced his tirade against a fellow VETERAN. Frankly I find THAT dishonorable. My Father was one of the lucky ones who came home, but not without sacrifice. He fought in the Battle of the Bulge WWII with honor. During battle he suffered burns over 80% of his body... lay in the snow for 3 days, was found by the Germans, taken for dead, and still bore the scars where they ripped his watch from his arm until the day he died. He had to suffer watching all of his platoon die except for 5 men under his command. And he still kept fighting, until the blood prevented him from firing his weapon any longer. He once told me "J, I have seen things that a human being should NOT have to witness." And GregWHoward tells me I cannot use that Bronze star as an avatar? And trashes #TeamWC (a group of patriots on Twitter who want nothing more than to be left alone and to tweet in peace) I think not MrHoward. Do not hold your breath dictating what others can do or are allowed to do on Twitter. I...appreciate EVERY man and woman who has served this great nation, in spite of the #lies that have been told and perpetuated. However, I find it detestable that there are some pathetic people who drape themselves in the flag and trash an honorable man and call themselves human? I am ASHAMED of their behavior, and ashamed of them.
