CLEVELAND — An Ohio firefighter has been given a six- month suspension from his role in a pipe and drum band because he nodded to President Barack Obama during last week’s inaugural parade in Washington.
Video shows drum major John Coleman giving the nod along with a fleeting wave as the Cleveland Firefighter’s Memorial Pipes & Drums marched past the president.
The band leader said the firefighter violated the decorum required in a military parade. He said members were warned not to make such gestures. Coleman says that Obama smiled and waved and that he was just acknowledging the president.
