CLEVELAND -- A local firefighter says he has accepted his six-month suspension from his role in the Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes and Drum Corp for giving President Barack Obama a nod and wave during last week's inaugural parade in Washington, D.C.
Drum Major and Cleveland Heights fire inspector John Coleman spoke exclusively to NewsChannel5's Duane Pohlman about his violation.
Coleman has been with the pipes and drums for 17 years and said he doesn't want to bring negativity or shame to the band.
Obama needs to intervene with a pardon

I agree with you except for one thing:
"I just was told this was a military parade and I was not to salute the president, which I did not and I happened to glance over at the booth and see if the president was even in the booth reviewing," he said
And they definently cannot get away with that in the military. Or else soldiers would break ranks and wave (or God know what else!!!) all the time.
Discipline.
