Major General Harold Greene is the highest-ranking officer to fall in combat since Vietnam. The 2-star general was killed in Afghanistan on August 5 and was laid to rest earlier this year at Arlington National Cemetery.
President Obama was too busy golfing at Vineyard Golf Club with elites, such as the World Bank President, to attend. VP Biden was too busy vacationing at the Hamptons to show up.
Not only did Obama not attend, he made no public comment, like he did with Robin Williams, or even order flags to be flown half mast, which he did for Whitney Houston and Nelson Mandela.

This is a lie! President Obama paid tribute Thursday to Major General Harold Greene, who was killed Tuesday during an attack in Afghanistan.
Serving in Afghanistan “continues to be a difficult and dangerous mission,” Obama said before signing a bill on veterans health care.
“Our prayers are with the Greene family, as they are with all the Gold Star families and those who have sacrificed so much for our nation,” Obama said.
During his veterans’ health care speech, the president also said:
“Four months from now, our combat mission in Afghanistan will be complete. Our longest war will come to an honorable end.
“In the years to come, many from this generation will step out of uniform, and their legacy will be secure. But whether or not this country properly repays their heroism, properly repays their patriotism, their service and their sacrifice, that’s in our hands.”
