I apologize for interrupting the normal string of pictures and updates on our family but I wanted to take a minute to speak something important on my mind. I recently received an e-mail that reported several incidents of verbal assault against our servicemen & women here in the Washington DC area. I can't tell you how badly this behavior grieves me and how appalling it is if we as citizens tolerate it. People are entitled to free speech but not to personal attacks on what they see as representatives of an institution. If you hear or see something like this going on please do not tolerate it, report it to local police so it can be addressed. (Servicememebers have been asked to report these issues to police if we witness or are targeted, thus my request for you to report)
