RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted October 23, 2017 So today, my mom was going thru some things, and come to find out we are a Gold Star Family. My Dad died in 2015 and received a form letter from Obama, but me, my sister and my mom, never received a phone call from Obama. Should I hold a press conference?

When you do hold the conference, be sure to amp the drama up to 11 on the Fake Outrage/Virtue Signalling scale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,640 Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah, something about the story reeks of b*******. It took your mom 'going through some things' to use your words in order to realize that your dad died in combat? What? Do you keep his burial flag in your junk drawer? And it took a week for you to bring this up? Let me guess, your dad served with bunnies dad guarding the Alabama students in Vietnam from the Nazis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted October 23, 2017 Sorry but my dads cause of death was agent orange related cancer and that's what is on his death certificate. Someone just contacted my mom today on Facebook cause she does a lot of Vietnam vet stuff and mentioned it to her so she got out the documents and confirmed. Honestly didn't even know what a gold star family was until recently. I have no reason to make any of this up. If they determine your death to have been caused by the war you are awarded that title. I don't know what it means or anything but it's an honor for my dad is all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,311 Posted October 23, 2017 I wonder how hard it is to hold a press conference. That'd be neat if we could all do it. Thanks for coming. I wanted to keep you apprised on the ongoing investigation. There are no new details and I still can't find my car keys. I'll take a couple questions...
