As a Gulf War veteran I was mortified when Harry let his wife march in front all the British veterans while wearing hot pants and flip flops when the team was entering with their flag during the games in Germany. This is just never done and was so disrespectful to the men she was marching with. I am very liberal and open to dissent so I am pretty tolerate of alot of things but for some reason this really hit a nerve. I sent the Invictus Foundation an email explaining this and offered to verify my service if needed. Never heard back from them and Harry's wife never apologized for her abhorrent behavior. All Harry does in whine about his need for taxpayer security. He put others at risk like the soldier body guards that accompanied him when he demanded to go to Afghanistan. Maybe find a veteran that honors the flag and puts others above self to lead Invictus.
Molly supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesI come from a military family. What he has done to The Invictus Games is shocking and disgraceful. The final straw for me was watching Meghan walk in front of the veterans last time with zero respect. He needs to go.
Crystal supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesThe veterans in the Invictis games should be celebrated and honored. My husband was in the Army, and my father in law and grandfather both were in WWII. These people are brave and served our countries to keep us all safe, and free. Having someone use these heroes for selfish gain is WRONG!!!.
Traci supported: Remove Prince Harry from Invictus GamesI am the daughter of a USA Army veteran who was captured by the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes during WWII. He was marched to at least six different stallogs, from Poland to Germany, after his capture. Once, he was told to load food boxes onto trucks being sent from the American Red Cross to feed the prisoners, which were then driven to rhe front line German troops while he, himself, was also starving. A buddy of his was shot dead for trying to hide some food in his pocket while loading the boxes. My father barely survived and seldom discussed his experiences after the war. He got a college degree & a wonderful job after the war, but no help from anyone with his trauma. He went back to school and earned his master's degree, but couldn't continue anymore. He just stopped working in his late forties, and my mother went back to work to support our family. Had he had something like Invictus to help him focus on through his grief and trauma that could have also alleviated his pain, he might have been able to walk me down the aisle at my wedding. He survived until he was 53, when he gave up and died in our home, three months before I got married.
I have been heartbroken for the lack of respect shown to the servicemen participating in the Invictus Games. They are heroes and are not being shown the respect they deserve for their service, due to all the negative turmoil constantly stirred up by the antics of the Sussex couple.
