When it comes to honoring this country's fallen soldiers, some politicians have a complete lack of respect.
For many, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance in which campaigning is not welcomed. While many politicians are careful not to engage in campaigning at Memorial Day parades, other like Tom Foley can't resist making a spectacle out the event.
On Monday, while at the Memorial Day parade in Danbury, I observed several Foley supporters walking along the parade route passing out campaign literature without any awareness of how offensive there actions were to many people who were in attendance.
Foley's goon squad disrupted the Memorial Day event with their distribution of his campaign material DURING the parade and it was wrong plain and simple. You would think that someone who wants to become the chief elected official in the state would have the common sense to understand that when it comes to Memorial Day, it's best to leave the partisan politics at home.
