Honoring American Heroes: Veterans Day

Today we honor the men and women who have fought for this nation. Pray for them. Please stop for moment, step back and say a little prayer for those that put their lives on the line so that we might live an extraordinary life of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Pray for their families. And pray for this nation. We are engaged in a civil war for the freedoms and rights enshrined in the Constitution. The sacrifices of our Veterans were not for naught. Fight. Fight the good fight. There are no observers or spectators in this war. Doing nothing aids and abets the enemy.

Today, honor a Veteran. Thank them. Our freedom is written in the blood of these heroes, our soldiers. It amazes me that I receive mail, a fair amount, mind you, from Vets, thanking me for the work I do. It embarrasses me. I owe our veterans everything. They are my heroes.

It unnerves me when readers write to voice frustration that Veterans Day has been removed from their children’s school calendar. It’s hard for me not to hold in contempt these self-serving educators who assume their freedom, take it for granted, while deriding American hegemony – the very thing that keeps these clowns free to tear apart the fabric of our great society.

Wherever I am, whenever I see a soldier or a Vet, I stop and humbly thank them for their service. And they are humbled, mumbling, “It’s nothing, ma’am.” It’s to break the heart.

Veterans Day, America’s finest hour. Again, thank you.
