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, Pipe Major Mike Engle, said the firefighter from the Cleveland suburb of Cleveland Heights violated the proper decorum required in a military parade.
Coleman says Obama smiled and waved, and that he was just acknowledging the president.
