Wonder why she didn't come up with the idea to honor people.

And Ms King would certainly want to be at the occasion to honor her father. Is that unacceptable?

Alveda King is not MLK's daughter she is his niece. This event is nothing more than
an attempt by Beck to boost his already overinflated ego...sorry you drank the Kool Aid.

Take it back from whom? When did we lose this honor. Who made us lose it?

That wasn't hard to find...
Except it doesn't say anything about why it's called restoring honor. Honor to what? Honor to the military? When was this honor supposedly lost? Who made them lose it?

Restoring honor to what? I've heard references to the military. Is he saying the military needs to have it's honor restored? I've gone on his website, but no mention or details, just some slogan, but nothing else. This rally seems to be about slogans, nothing more.

I've read it, and it doesn't explain where the honor has been lost. All it does is mention the military, so does he feel the military needs to restore it's honor?

Join the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and many more for this non-political event that pays tribute to America’s service personnel and other upstanding citizens who embody our nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor.

Our freedom is possible only if we remain virtuous. Help us restore the values that founded this great nation. On August, 28th, come join us in our pledge to restore honor at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC.

This rally seems to be about slogans and nothing more. Beck is unclear about reason for this rally, and his followers are just as confused. It would be like the left having a rally called "Fight for freedom" yet make no mention of any freedoms they feel have been threatened. Bunch of hot air, nothing more.
