[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the family:

“We invited him. He didn’t come to us,” said Darin Hoover, father of Staff Sgt. Darin “Taylor” Hoover. “He has shown nothing but sincerity to all of us and for what happened to our children, and for anybody else to try to take that away from the ceremony — both at the wreath-laying and at the graveside — is unconscionable.”

And people keep deleting this. Because that's the scum they are.[/quote]

As has been mentioned many times, there wasn't a problem with the family inviting him to attend.  There wasn't a problem with him attending or being there.  There wasn't a problem with them taking photographs, as they said, for they to have a memory of the honor of having President Trump there.

The problem was that it was illegal for President Trump and his campaign team to use those photographs and video for his campaign.  President Trump and his campaign team are the only ones who violated the law, after the event, by taking photos and videos, intended to be a memorial for the families, and publicly releasing them and using them for his political campaign.

He was respectful of the families that invited him.  But he was very disrespectful of all of the other families whose loved ones are interred in section 60 and who do not want their loved ones' graves included in political messaging and to have their privacy invaded.  As has been mentioned, at least one family member of a service member in an adjacent grave was shocked and upset when her brother's grave was included in Trump's political messaging.  That is what the rule is designed to protect.  Those families deserve their privacy in their grief.[/quote]
