Not for nuthin, but the best way to pay homage to our fallen troops is to make sure they fell for a reason.
A bunch of politicians standing around for photo-ops is not exactly what these people fought for.
A politician getting out there in the mud with their constituents trying to restore our nation to its former "land of opportunity" status......
....well that's why they died for their country in the first place, isn't it?
Whether you agree with the method or not, this is their intent.
So good on the mayor for throwing convention to the wind, where it belongs.
Of course. Because it's always better to throw in with violent, vandalizing, drug dealing anarchists, than to honor true Americans.
Spin this all you want, but this mayor is a steaming pile of excrement, to go to the OWO rally instead of an event to honor veterans. But this is CA. What more can you expect.

Well I'm glad you agree with me.
Because if those are the choices, it looks like the anarchist drug-dealers are getting more done than the empty-suited politicians spouting off the same insincere crap they do every year.
Still doesn't compare to the city council of Berkeley telling the US Marines they were unwanted and unwelcomed intruders to their city, ordering their lawyer to find a way to evict the marines from their city, and issuing a free permit to Code Pink to protest outside the Marine recruiting station for months and months. To add to the insult, the city's mayor was also outside the Marine office wearing a pink hat and telling the Marines to get out of his city. To top it all off, most of those council members were re-elected after the incident.
The mayor in the above article has shown her disdain towards the US Military veterans while approving of protestors breaking the law with acts of violence and vandalism.
Hadn't heard about the above; but don't doubt it. Be nice to see them pleading for help when their fine cesspool of a city needs protection one day. Then the Marines can march off, telling Berkeley to get their protection from their dear friends, Code Pink. (Pleasant dream, anyway )

"The mayor of Richmond, Calif. plans to skip her city’s Veterans Day memorial events to attend an Occupy rally, a choice that’s prompting anger and criticism."
"According to the San Francisco Chronicle, she marched in Occupy Oakland’s “general strike” earlier this month — the same march that turned into violent rioting. Asked whether she would support Friday’s protesters if they decide to stay and camp after their rally, she told the Chronicle: “Yeah, I would stand with them for that. I stand with this movement...A message on her website urged Richmond residents to attend the Occupy rally as well, scheduled for 11 a.m. — the same time as the Veterans Day events."
Is it any surprise to learn that the notorious Van Jones spoke at this woman's election campaign in 2010?
Everyone has the right to commit suicide... ... unless it is actual suicide.
This mayor has demonstrated she favors anarchist in the early phase of a revolution to overturn our government over brave hero's who put their life on the line to protect and defend our nation.
Richmond is a blue-collar city. I hope they turn on her.
