    Yea and the last one was when he was in his wheelchair and had his wife right next to him. Just trying to get their 15 mins of fame would be my guess. Probably one of those that are complaining about Christmas songs being racist and sexist as well.

    That may well be the case but posting that here has what value? Do we have to join some questionable crusade to lessen the man at a time when as a nation we need to be reminded of honor and service?
