Happy Veterans Day
2008-11-11 22:50:00 Jake Tapper of Political Punch tells us of the remembrance by President-Elect Obama here (Tapper also points out that we've just gone through the fifth election in a row in which the candidate who didn't serve in uniform abroad beat the candidate who did; just sayin').And speaking of our veterans, I posted about one of our most visible (and highly regarded, IMHO) ones here.
Veterans Day, November 11th
2008-11-11 20:23:00 Today is a day that the federal government and the majority of the states in the United States, sets aside to honor the men and woman of the military that have served our great nation. With over 24.9 million veterans serving in our military it is a day we set aside to remember them and the service they gave to our great nation. It is a day to say Thank You. My good friend Sarah Cooper, created this Real Estate Show for us to share. I learned about it on Twitter several weeks ago and asked her if we could share it. While you listen take a view minutes to honor your family members, friends, brothers, sisters and sons who have served and are continuing to serve in all branches of our military. I have two sons in the Navy currently, my father served in WWII and my granddad in WWI. Today I remember then along with the millions of others who have helped us maintain our freedom and liberty. Unlike Memorial Day that celebrates the memory of those who fought and died; Veterans Day honors th...
Veterans Day
2008-11-11 19:59:00 On this Veterans Day I am especially remembering my Grandfather, Col. Michael Buckley, who was the first U.S. POW in World War II, as well as all our loved ones who have served to protect us. I am also thinking of our family and friends who are serving now in Afghanistan and Iraq. May God keep them and all of our troops safe.

The Boston Veterans Day 17 had their day in court last month, and the case against them was dismissed.

Anti-War Nuts Vandalize Memorial on Veterans Day
2007-11-14 15:01:00 From Amy Proctor. From a racist Democrat to anti-America liberal idiots man the left is crawling with miscreants.

Happy Veterans Day with Special Words to You
2007-11-13 09:06:00 It is one of those days to honor heroes to make time to honor them. On a day meant for them to be honored as the true heroes they are.

Chertoff in Iraq for Veterans Day

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff spent Sunday in Iraq, where he participated in a ceremony for 178 foreign-born service members to become U.S. citizens. “I can’t think of people who are more deserving of citizenship than those who are fighting to defend the country even before they are citizens,” Chertoff said. “They understand that ...

How The Left Really Feels About Veterans Day
2007-11-12 17:21:00 From Daily Kos: Its time to be done with the ridiculous idea that there are some sort of politically neutral expressions of “patriotism.” Patriotism is a consciously cultivated mindset intended to secure popular consent for military actions that might otherwise be unpopular. The US is a hyper-patriotic country because it is an imperialist country that is ...

Today We Celebrate US Veterans Day
2007-11-12 16:29:00 Let us all take a moment and remember those who paid the ultimate price for the freedom we enjoy. Make it a point to express gratitude to all of our veterans. Thank them. Employ them. Value them. Pray for them. It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you. ~Dick Cheney It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! &...

Veterans Day
2007-11-12 16:04:00 This morning driving home from school I noticed a lot of classic old cars decorated with American Flags. They were headed downtown for the Veterans Day parade. Our town can boast of being adjacent to a major military fort, the oldest continuously active post west of the Mississippi. We're big on the military here. The military and prisons, that 's what we do here. We are so obviously a fun loving people.Anyway-I realized that we are unique from many Americans in that we are surrounded by active military and veterans every day. You can't spit in this town without hitting military personnel or federal property owned by the military (I DO NOT recommend this, figure of speech folks!).Regardless of politics, I think thanking those who serve in harm's way is of paramount importance for every American today. To be totally cheesy, I'll quote Demi Moore talking about soldiers in the movie "A Few Good Men":" . . . they stand upon a wall and say, 'Nothing's going to hurt you to...

Moehnle21 years old from Los Angeles, CaliforniaCompany L, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 6 ("Darkhorse" Battalion)Cpl. Jordan M. Moehnle takes time out of leading his squad in a patrol through Fallujah's Nazaal district to spend some time interacting with local children. Moehnle, who is on his second tour in Iraq, said the changes he has witnessed since he was last here in 2006 have been dramatic. "The city was like the Wild West, we'd put our heads down and drive down (the middle of Fallujah) and hope not to get shot," he said. "Since we've been here (this year), we can stop and shoot the breeze."You can read more here.These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday.

Veterans' Day - and?
2007-11-12 08:36:00 Over at Chuck for I had a bit to say about having a Day for vets and that there might be a bit more to do than just that. Since Ron has posted a bit on the subject I won't rehash my post here, but I will suggest just a couple ways to honor the vets:Let's make fewer of them and be more careful about itAsk a vet today what they need, and then ask for it, and then demand itIf that seems a bit much, consider - just exactly what words do you have that are adequate to express our debt and gratitude?
Reflections on Veterans Day
2007-11-12 06:39:00 Traditional Veterans day is a special day for me. It's my X-wife's birthday (happy birthday Flori) and it's the day I became a veteran 36 years ago. I was in the Army from November, 1968 to November, 1971. You might recall that there was a little unpopular war going on then too. My friend Bill in DC and I were lucky - we spent the Vietnam war on the frontiers of freedom in downtown Munich Germany.(The picture is of me about 36 years ago in Munich) Many of my friends and relatives were not so lucky and a few did not return. All of us knew that we would be getting out of the service on our ETS; there were no back door drafts. We knew that if we did go to Vietnam we would be there for 12 months unless we volunteered to go back. We had it really good and those givens were what kept our moral up. There was a draft and the Army was a cross section of America - that can't be said today. Then nearly everyone was required to make a sacrifice - today most are encouraged not too.The pictur...
Veterans Day
2007-11-12 05:10:00 I just wanted to say Thank You to all my fellow veterans and to all the active duty military. Like they say Freedom Is Never Free and many have made the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest of us can be free. My thanks and my heart goes out to all of them. Have a Happy Veterans Day.

Veterans Day, 11th November
2007-11-11 08:49:00 During the World War I, the Allied powers signed a cease-fire agreement with Germany at Rethondes, France on November 11, 1918, bringing World War I to a close. The World War I officially ended on June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The actual fighting between the Allies and Germany, however, had ended seven months earlier with the armistice, which went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918. Hence November 11 th was known as the Armistice Day and it was changed to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. veterans. Between the two World Wars, November 11 was commemorated as Armistice Day in the United States, Great Britain, and France. After World War II, the holiday was recognized as a day of tribute to veterans of both world wars. Beginning in 1954, the United States designated November 11 as Veterans Day to honor veterans of all U.S. wars. In 1968, new legislation changed the national commemoration of Veterans Da...
