If you are on Facebook, have you seen those Memorial Day Wreaths...
I was going through the process to get one thinking it was nice gesture on my part to show I care about the sacrifice those who have given their lives for the country.

Turns out this one is sponsored by a conservative organization and is pushing really hard for Ronald Reagan.

Curious that RR was more interested in making movies and raising war bonds than fighting for the country he loved.

I was furious because the true content of the program was not unveiled until the wreath was already on my Home Page.

I quickly removed this crap from my home page.

It really tells you a whole lot about conservatives who love to tout their patriotism and the sacred sacrifice so many have given by promoting a political agenda.

They really have no shame.

2. I recommended this post
I am sure that the people who created the wreath option think they have honorable intentions, but why trick people into appearing to support their cause?

4. Thanks for the heads-up
I just removed mine as well. Too bad, my intention was only to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. :(
