Remembering our veterans on this day

Veterans Day  "Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, is an annual United States holiday honoring military veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)"

American Thinker: Celebrate Veterans Day today  "The very foundation of America is being assailed by anarchists, atheists, socialists, communists and Marxists. It is time for all those who have taken government oaths to reaffirm and act upon them. Oaths taken before God are not to be entered into lightly. In this article, Mr. Jim O'Neill details actual oaths various members of the government currently take, and he provides some insightful observations about America's precarious situation and the need for unified action

Blackfive honors our veterans  "It doesn’t matter what a vet did during his or her service, it matters that he or she chose to serve and do whatever vital job they were assigned to the best of their ability. It isn’t about medals, it isn’t about glory, it isn’t about what job they did. It is about the fact that when their country called, they stood up and answered. They are all, every one of them, heroes.
"To all the vets out there – Happy Veteran’s Day."
