How cool is that! Dominick Critelli immigrated to the US as a child. He was at the Battle of the Bulge and Normandy and was awarded the Bronze Star 3 times.

Real Americans are born here. If I wanted to listen to an Italian instrumental, I'd go to the Olive Garden.

The playing of the National Anthem before a sporting event is a sacred time where those in attendance are reminded all other countries suck. I don't need Sgt. Mario Bros and his participation trophies, (he has "earned," both the Theater Medal and a Good Conduct Medal), taking the job of someone who has been here since birth. Play a video of Kid Rock or something.

When Trump said he's ended 8 wars, what he meant was he started WW 3 thru 10

Thank you for standing up for us HERITAGE AMERICANS, sir! Over Christmas, I had to keep reminding my anchor baby wife and her child of immigrants brother (married to a European immigrant    )that, despite his current 18 years of service in the US Navy, it pales in comparison to the fact that I had relatives who came over on the Mayflower. It took a while, but before he left he finally thanked me for MY service to the country. Next up - self deporation from the country he was born in. Heil Stephen Miller, grandson of immigrants!

104? That means he's been on Medicare for nearly 40 years. He's a "taker." Unlike real taxpaying Americans.

Shows how much you know. He's been earning some serious money playing the sax in the NYC subway system ("busking") and, as a fine upstanding American citizen, he has been paying income tax on his take.

If he makes it to March, I hope the BE will bring him in to play the national anthem for the BET games. If he also plays the bugle, perhaps he would be willing to play Taps for Marquette.
