So....Obama is skipping out on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to pay homage to the City of the Unknown Voter.... 
Very apt.

In discussions about Clinton's and Obama's qualifications for the job of POTUS, I get asked if I think having served in the military should be a prerequisite for being POTUS. I have honestly answered that I don't. But this thread has pointed out to me that true respect for the military needs to be a prereq for Commander in Chief. Having served in the military does not guarantee that respect, as Kerry and Murtha have shown.
That is the most attractive aspect of McCain...He does respect our soldiers.
I do like the idea that you need to be a veteran to vote.
I heard an example of the difference between being involved and being committed to a cause.
In a ham and egg breakfast, the pig is committed but the hen is only involved.
We will find veterans more often committed to the US since they have been willing to put their bacon on the line for the country.
