Politics aside for a moment, okay? Alright.

There’s been a lot of rabble-rousing in the news lately surrounding the sentiments of Gold Star parents, especially in the aftermath of both GOP and Dem conventions.

Whichever way you lean, know this: former POTUS George W. Bush put it best when, back almost a decade ago, a Gold Star parent denounced him for his Iraq War decision-making. He, very succinctly, states what America is all about, and how he can be slammed for what he says or does, because that’s as patriotic as anything from sea to shining sea.

And that’s all there it is to it. This IS America.
