We have a good town supervisor too! He is our Legion commander. Each year, I am the featured speaker for memorial Day festivities in our town and a neighboring town.
Last Memorial Day, i gave about a 25 min speech, wherein I guess I ripped "wokeism" a new one!
While the guys were putting the podium, power units and speaker system on trucks for the next setup, I turned to Steve (supervisor) and said.."Well Steve..I may have just stepped on some toes!"
Steve replies..."Well, I guess they will just have to move their toes then!"
Last election, if it had not been Steve elected as supervisor, it would have been my daughter-in-law: so I saw no way the town could lose..
This years Memorial Day address will not be an effort in "pussyfoot" verbalization either...
