Shame On The American Legion ...

The sponsors of Middletown's annual Memorial Day Parade should be ashamed of themselves for allowing marchers in yesterday's parade to carry a Pro-Life banner along  the parade route.

The purpose of Memorial Day is to pay tribute to all the fallen soldiers that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, so that we all may enjoy the freedoms that their sacrifices have ensured and maintained for us.

Whoever at the American Legion that approved these marchers and desecrated the honor of all those fallen heroes should be barred from the halls of the American Legion immediately and have their membership revoked!

Township officials, who also marched or drove during the parade, should be embarrassed knowing that such a cheap political stunt like allowing the Pro-Life banner to make it's way along the parade route without questioning it, should also be held accountable for desecrating the memories of the fallen.

Things like this just show Middletown residents just how out of touch today's Republicans really are.
