“All I can do is apologize to everybody involved in the situation, to the bride, to the groom, to the people upstairs, to my Legion, to my wife. It's not the way I behave normally. This incident has absolutely ruined my life," said Lawrence.
No, there is a lot more you can do other than apologize with a statement where you try to make yourself the victim.
You can resign from the legion, pay the couple back out of YOUR pocket.
Make a donation to the legion as an apology and agree to never step foot in there again.
And quit drinking if that’s who you turn into after a few beers. I have a feeling your wife would appreciate that much more than this half assed apology.
And not say things like “this incident has absolutely ruined your life” - you made a choice and ruined what should be a special day for the couple with your boorish drunken behaviour.
I highly doubt this is the 1st time, people who escalate to that level have usually done it before and got away with it. And you making this about how it ruined YOUR life is telling. You’re not the victim here.
And the legion supporting this should make people reconsider where they donate their money.
You can support veterans without supporting spaces that not only allow this, but also describe someone who does that as their “number one at the legion, who will always be their number one”
