TRUSSVILLE — Like most of America, I was in shock as insurgents violently took siege of the U.S. Capitol. It was unconscionable that anything of the sort could take place on American soil, let alone in our nation’s Capitol.
When Alabama Governor Kay Ivey sent 750 troops to Washington to protect the Capitol during the inauguration of President Joe Biden, it was a point of personal pride. We sent our best to protect the democracy of our great nation.
What has transpired with our troops since is just as unconscionable as the siege they were sent to prevent.
