I've seen every one of those groups that you mention recognized at sporting events. Even plumbers get their moment during the Pete the plumber Macho Man segments. And I don't see soldiers getting special recognition at literally every sporting event in North America. Not the games I go to.
It seem really fitting that we are using the Flames at Pride thread to air out our grievances about honouring war vets. Maybe the Flames could drop military night and have gays in the military night?
The two fighter jets that flew over Mcmahon during the anthem yesterday? Put me in the that was awesome group.
And giving veterans Remembrance day is not "more than enough". It's not nearly enough. Not even close.
