Say what you want about owner Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment.
You can call the group too theatrical, too this or too that.
But there’s another term you can use for McMahon and the WWE: “very patriotic.”
At the beginning of Monday Night Raw, the WWE featured a salute to our troops on Memorial Day.
This beat the heck out of the local TV stations that led their newscasts with the same-old police blotter stuff and threw in Memorial Day remembrances as an afterthought.
Actually, the WWE is gaining quite a reputation for its patriotism.
After all, this was the first organization to hold a major public event in the aftermath of 9/11, staging a show in Houston just two days after the terrorist acts and having McMahon say “We’ll go on with the show; we’re not afraid of terrorists.”
This is also the same WWE that travels to Iraq each year during Christmas time and puts on a show for our troops.
When it comes to being patriotic, our local and national TV shows can sure learn a lot from the WWE.

Three cheers for Vince McMahon and the WWE, the man knows how to put on an entertaining show but he also is a patriot to the bone. Their salute to the troops on Memorial Day was an honor to our fallen service men and women and was very well done.
