Letter: Let an Iraq war vet pitch at Nationals game.

In today’s Washington Post, one reader writes in and objects to the fact that President Bush has been given the honor of throwing the first ceremonial pitch at tomorrow’s Washington Nationals game:

Why is President Bush, and not an Iraq war veteran, throwing out the first pitch at Nationals Park [Sports, March 28]?

The veteran is far more deserving of the first-pitch honor than the president is.
