They’re gonna have a 21-Man Bun salute, instead.
The University of Virginia canceled a 21-gun salute scheduled to take place as part of the school’s Veterans Day ceremony, prompting a backlash.
The university’s provost office and Col. Michael Hough, commanding officer of the school’s Air Force ROTC detachment, made the decision to eliminate the salute for two reasons, University of Virginia President Jim Ryan said in a statement.
“First, to minimize disruptions to classes, given that this event is located at the juncture of four primary academic buildings and is held at a time that classes are in session; and second, recognizing concerns related to firing weapons on the Grounds in light of gun violence that has happened across our nation, especially on school and university campuses,” he wrote on Nov. 9 in response to, he said, concerns about the cancellation of the salute.
“They considered the option of relocating the ceremony to another place on Grounds. But given that the 21-gun salute is not a required, or even typical, part of Veteran’s Day ceremonies—as opposed to Memorial Day ceremonies, which are specifically dedicated to those who have lost their lives in service to our country—they chose to keep the ceremony at a central location on Grounds but leave out the 21-gun salute.”
Ryan said that the salute might be re-introduced in future years.
Did they all have a sword fight later that night instead? If you know what I mean?
Gee Wally, I hoid they’re gonna re-name the place to the University of Vagina too!
7 trannies shouting “bang” three times is more their speed.
NOW known as “University of Vagina”
Just another symptom of a failing country with a failing culture.
It won’t be long now, I hope you’re ready for it.
Nothing like erasing tradition and history. How weak.
Sorry, y’all… It’s getting downright embarrassing here in Virginia. (Not that we’ve wanted to claim Charlottesville for quite a few years now.)
Old bag Hillary say’s that she has a vagina maybe she should move to the State of Vagina in order to feel more appreciated for having a vagina (B.J. Billy would love to move to the State of Vagina)!
I would love to see all the miscreant Democrats get a 21 gun firing squad salute! Ready, Aim, FIRE!
what did they substitute for the gun salute – jazz hands?
A 21 gun salute is supposed to interrupt classes, if only a few seconds, to grab their attention to; recall, remember, and honor the sacrifices of our veterans to defend and preserve freedom. A silent salute can be ignored.
Where’s Kent state when you need it?
