project, what is it? it was started last year by a young woman emily, it wasn t honor project yet. a young woman who went to visit grandfather in arlington and sent out a tweet, hey, how can i help those who can t be here. i will visit your lovered ones graves. visited over 60 grave site that is day and joined up with us after memorial day and you guys know how to put things together and bring out volunteers and we have now formed the honor project. we have over 300 volunteers that are going to be visiting 4,000 graves in arlington. we see you with your father colonel tom manion and your son travis named after your brother. that s right, we were able to bring my son and my father and i went to place a flag at travis grave this morning and when i look at my son, 7 year s old named after his uncle, it s a reminder for me that we need to make sure that this next
generation understands the sacrifices that were made, i they understand what our military men and women represent to this country. griff: what they are placing is this flag, you can see the travis manion flag here. you actually gave high honor to place one. general kelly s son died in 2010, all intended to inspire the next generation to service. absolutely. you re seeing now it s quite remarkable to step foot just in the first place in arlington national cemetery but to go to general kelly s son grave site and after we heard general kelly talking about the lost of his son and he says, you know, we all lose people but really when you lose someone like a son in combat, it s a whole different level. it is. i think you re mixed with the
world, god forbid. are these soft targets? we saw this yesterday. legislation needs to change that. silver lining to this bringing hope. an officer showing up to the area where the gunfire was going back and forth. bringing a folded american flag standing in solidarity with them. speaking of insolidarity people across the country and around the world are looking at images out of chattanooga, tennessee. what can you do when you re sitting at home? social media you can post things. a number of people posting the marine corps flag. there s one. we keep a navy flag and marine corps flag out front at our house. and another saying flying my husband s marine flag in honor, support, and remembrance for the four marines shot and killed in tennessee.
that flag. i say at the end of that piece, to me that flag is no better than a swastika. it should have no place in american political discourse. yeah, it curdles the blood what do you think that guy was thinking out there? well, the other flag on the left is the marine corps flag. he identifies the two of them together, this character. someone on my facebook page said i wonder if that guy if the picture realizes that the folks who are represented by the flag in his right hand, you know, beat the butts of the people who represented the flag in his left hand. you know, that flag is so i mean, i m glad i was able to write this because i can t even talk about just how offensive that flag is. sam stein, you know we lost 600,000 people in that civil war. most of them were christians. they believed in the same god, they came from the same country.
up with his hands out. vaguely threatening but incoherent is a patented thing with these folks. it s never held them back, like say this guy, who brought the confederate flag to the rally to wave it in front of the white house. yes, an african-american family lives in that house now. beyond the menace of the confederate flag, life & style weekly the awkwardness and thematic incoherence of waving the giant confederate flag alongside the other flag he was holding, which was the marine corps flag. that is a particularly awkward choice, to be holding the confederate flag and marine corps flag at the same time, since the u.s. marine corps was part of the fight against the confederacy in the civil war. but hey, i think the idea here was more about waving a confederate flag in front of a house where a black family lives than it was about anything specific related to the marines. this weekend, at the railing against the shutdown that they demanded rally, it felt less like anything specific
