Trump's comments regarding the Medal Of Freedom and the Medal of Honor are no surprise. After all, he gave it to Rush Limbaugh, of all people! That's like taking it and tossing it in the sewer!

On the plus side, thank you, Seargent Fulton, for your long years of service to our country. That reunion with your daughters was great! We needed that! 🙂
