Drum Major Suspended for Nodding at Obama

A Cleveland man who marched as drum major with a firefighters band in last week’s inaugural parade has been suspended for a nod and a wave he gave to President Obama, the Plain Dealer reports. “This was a military parade. Protocol and proper decorum had to be followed at all times,” the bandleader said. John Coleman sees it differently. “I was just acknowledging the president, who was acknowledging our band.” (More President Obama stories.)
